What did you do to get this issue? I just played FiveM than suddenly it ‘crashed’ but apparently Bitdefender blocked the application because it has changed items in my protected folders and it also changed Items in the Nvidia map while it is not supposed to.
What server did you get this issue on? On Most Wanted Gaming.
CitizenFX.log file No need for it.
.dmp files/report IDs No need for it.

If an issue with starting:
GTA V folder screenshot x
GTA V/update/x64/dlcpacks screenshot x
Filepath to FiveM folder x
FiveM client folder screenshot x
Did you try to disable/uninstall your Anti-virus? x

Also add what you already tried so far.
I did not try much but as you can read above, FiveM is changing items in Nvidia folders while it is not supposed to change it. So i would love to know WHY it is doing that because my dad is blocking FiveM until the Forums give me good information about WHY it is changing the items in the Nvidia Folders.

FiveM is not ransomware
The screenshots clearly indicate that FiveM is creating files in NV_Cache, which is for caching shadows from your Nvidia GPU. This is most likely a behavior you would also see GTA V doing, but since it detected FiveM as ransomware, it thinks it’s not supposed to be doing this.
Same goes for accessing your GTA V profile and other things related to Steam

I can ASSURE you and your dad that FiveM is NOT ransomware and never was! Anti-virus software use a list of applications that they think are ransomware. FiveM is open source software (https://github.com/citizenfx/fivem/) and does not do anything weird.

TIL, add FiveM.exe and the FiveM folder to your exceptions list. If this doesn’t help, disable your anti-virus. Honestly, anti-virus software is not needed on Windows 10. You got Windows Defender.

@d0p3t is spot on with this. Don’t freak out, I can’t read the language in your screenshot but I can recognize what it labels it as, it isn’t ransomware. I highly suggest you look through the source code that was linked to you.
