Kaspersky plus keeps flagging RPCS3 as a miner, then auto disinfects PC with no option to ignore or whitelist

Kaspersky keeps disinfecting my PC with no option to ignore or whitelist.

I've recently gone from Kaspersky to Kaspersky Plus and now it's flagging my emulator as a miner after around 5 minutes of gaming.

VirusTotal and Hybrid Analysis show no detections, this program is well-trusted in the community, is from the official source and was fine before. What can I do?

Thank you

I checked what the file did after "your own risk" comment and Kasp didn't flag the program until I was actually gaming, having it open did nothing, it was only 5 minutes after I started a game. It also didn't connect to the internet so I'm pretty sure it's not a miner, I'm thinking the high CPU and GPU usage during gaming gave a false positive for a mining virus.

I've placed the program under high restricted with no internet access just in case.

 

Thank you for your time
