This file may trigger your AV, but this is only a false positive. The file has been checked by 59 AVs and flagged by nine. The file has also been submitted to Microsoft for checking, so that the flag can be removed.
Why download when you can do this for yourself? Backup and hex edit your own .exe for any resolution, here is how: https://vulkk.com/2020/11/10/how-to-fix-ac-valhalla-ultrawide-cutscenes-no-black-bars/
The reason you want to be able to do this yourself is that you are downloading a static file from this website that may not work due to a future game update. This mod is convenient but if it breaks he has given a resource to do it yourself. Modders do not always come back and fix their mods if they break due to game updates.
I'm grave digging on that one but glad someone shared how to do it yourself, I fake a 21:9 on my TV and using 3840x1645 resolution. 1645 is actually the correct 21:9 resolution for 4k class 21:9 and not 1600.
This isn't going to work because it's so old and never updated. This mod broke a LONG time ago and is a good example of why you should do it yourself because you need to do it every time the game is updated.
so i downloaded this, ran the exe and installed it for 3440x1440 but it is still the same, still cropped cutscenes and now i wonder what i actually installed.
Make sure that you have run the program on both .exe files (at least that is what I did) and hopefully it should run fine. This mod is limited to any in-game cutscenes that is not pre-made which you can find in the videos folder in the directory, so it can be one of those you have watched.
From what I know (I haven't personally spoken to the mod author), this mod is simply an easy to use installer to change the hex values on the hard coded resolution cutscene borders inside the .exe file and then creates a duplication .exe.bak file which you can use, should you want to go back to the old settings.
If you still can't make it to work, you could try and use the HxD application and manually enter the desired aspect ratio value and replace it with any hardcoded resolutions. I personally did this to Asssassin's Creed Origins and it worked like a charm.
Ah, this may be why the New Game video with the shaman lady is still in it's original format. I double checked that I did it correctly, but the Hex Editor was pretty clean and easy to use. I used the editor instead because I always like to learn more stuff, so not a comment about your file. Just wanted to see how that sort of thing works. Fun! lol
If you checked the create a backup option when installing it, there should be a "ACValhalla.exe.bak" that is the backup for the original exe file. Delete the "ACValhalla.exe" you have or rename it, then remove the .bak from "ACValhalla.exe.bak".
You can see the results of 60 AV scans here. Microsoft is the only well-known AV that flags it, along with six other lesser known AVs; of which two of them flags it as a game crack (which is at least closer to reality) and one of them doesn't really know anything and just flags it with an incredibly informative "Malware".

This gives you some FPS
But I don't see an option for that accuracy
These are typical false positives.
