Your issue

Hi, do you know why some AVs detect the Fuck_off_EA_App_installer.exe as malicious? is that safe?

It's false detections, especially the actual version.dll file that's installed doesn't trigger as much. I've previously reported it to Microsoft and they whitelisted it, it seems now it's detected with another signature. If you were to report them to the AVs for manual analysis, they'd all probably whitelist it, but I personally can't be arsed currently xd
