malicious file in Gamefirst

Hi Asus 

so recently my windows defender flagged a file in game first as quarantined and i scanned the file and found out that it is malicious , the name of the file is "OpenHardwareMonitorLib.sys" . Can you specify what's wrong with the file , and are my files safe or no.

to add it was detected 7 days ago and i don't know why it just showed up to me.

tell me how to fix it because i don't think that i made a mistake that can make me vulnerable to malicious files

Hi @Ilias14X 

This is a file used by https://openhardwaremonitor.org/

Seems like a long-standing false positive, no reason to be concerned.
