EA Launcher = virus?

Playing Fallen Order again to get myself in mode for playing Survivor. One of these is in Epic and the other is in EA. I was in Epic, clicked to open EA via the game shortcut in Epic and it tells me my authentication failed. I went to click on the EA app and a large grey box I have never seen opens asking me to verify my email. I did not recognize that, so closed it and immediately the PC goes nuts throwing warning about a virus being stopped. This goes on for a minute or so and the EA app just closes in the background.

I pulled a full scan, checked updates again, went and opened EA independently and it seems to have run without issue.

Looking online about this issue seems to indicate a pretty significant difference of opinion about the loader, and more specifically its anti-cheat and background process being malware. Can anyone shed some light on this one?
