Cannot Execute DirectToRift.exe and access denied

Hey guys!

Just jumped on to use my rift DK2 today and suddenly my PC seems to have deleted all of the "DirectToRift.exe" files I had, while leaving the normal .exe files intact.
Also, when I try to unpack the DirectToRift.exe's or execute them from the archive zips I have, I get either a "Cannot Execute" or "Access Denied" error.

I've tried disabling my antivirus and firewall (even though I've been using the same one since I received the Rift) but the problem persists.

I was hoping somebody might have an idea what's causing this, and hopefully a way to fix it!

Any help is really appreciated. 😄

*Edit

It appears some demos are still working and their DirectToRift.exe is working fine too, where as most of the other demo's DirectToRift.exe's have been completely blocked from been able to even extract to my computer.

*Edit 2

It appears my AntiVirus (Bitdefender) is flagging these as a trojin. Even when I try turning off my antivirus after restoring the .exe from quarantine, it somehow flags and quarantines it again. How can I get around this without removing my AntiVirus?
