Description
So, this is interesting. Yesterday I installed keybase on my laptop and everything worked as it should. Today, after my laptop powered down due to low battery I tried to run keybase desktop app but my premium Bitdefender flagged keybaserq.exe as ransomware and app won't start.
> The process C:\Users\bruh\AppData\Local\Keybase\keybaserq.exe manifests ransomware behavior and was blocked. Your files have been protected from being altered.
I guess I could make an exception in Bitdefender settings but if anyone could take a look and see if there is any way to mitigate this.

Start by examining the reported keybaserq.exe detection and the Bitdefender ransomware warning in the issue. Determine whether the desktop app can be started without the alert and document a confirmed mitigation or the information needed to address the false positive.
