Has Teamviewer_Service.exe changed?

Re TV version 15.4.8332, Date 9th April 2020 09:26:42

For the last few days my firewall is warning me that

Teamviewer_Service.exe has changed and is attempting to connect to the Internet"   

 My question is this:

Does anyonw know if this executable has legitimately been changed or updated by Teamviewer recently (say with the download of the version above)?

If not then this might be signalling a malicious change by something else.so I don't want to unblock it.

    Hello @coldwater,

    Thank you for your message. ?

    It is most probably a false positive.

    Teamviewer_Service.exe is a core element of TeamViewer's software and is necessary to get the best user experience possible. For example, the TeamViewer service can allows TeamViewer to start with the system.

    I hope this could help. ?

    Best regards
