@Flood and Flood's wife below is the KAV report. Mind you, the language in this picture is Dutch. I received two additional reports with the only change in text being either quarantined or deleted instead of detected (gedetecteerd in Dutch).
I managed to follow the instructions you listed above. Now we play the waiting game.

Ignore my previous comment, managed to find a workaround for the time being.

I can’t upload SpaceEngineers.exe to the portal because the antivirus program itself keeps removing the .exe. I literally can’t copy it. I am also stuck in a circle, because I can’t add the game into the exclusion list because the executable is not selectable because of said deletion.

I’ll try that. The game didn’t have an update today and during yesterday’s scan nothing happened.

The Rootscankit labelled SpaceEngineers.exe (the executable to launch the game Space Engineers) as malware. Detecting it as UDS: DangerousObject.Multi.Generic, Kaspersky quarantined the file.
After trying to launch the game via Steam, Steam stated that the very same file is missing and that thus the game cannot be launched.
This prompted me to believe that this is a false positive. I have over 1900 hours in this game over the last 5+ years. If it truly were malware, it should’ve been detected long ago.

Sort of. Managed to add the executable as an exemption. It doesn’t delete it now but the issue technically remains. This is solely a work-around for the time being.
As stated earlier, I reported the incident to Kaspersky and am awaiting their response. Until then this issue should not be marked as solved.
