leester Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Here lately certain downloads have virus's detected by Norton and deleted automatically. The last one was detected by Windows 10 with a message "Do Not Open". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Here...meaning the File Library? Those are scanned for malware/viruses before they are placed into the library. False positives maybe?? Which file(s)? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 False positives. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leester Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 All the files containing a virus were the "KENWIGAIR" files for FSX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leester Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 I do not know what a "False Positive" is. but Norton deletes the downloaded file when I click on it to install it. The last file had a stange "exe" file that had nothing to do with FSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 KENWIGAIR files are legit panel files. Disable Norton and download. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 All the files containing a virus were the "KENWIGAIR" files for FSX? There are 21 KENWIGAIR download files in the library. I have downloaded and installed several and have had no problems. I also use Norton Security Suite. http://www.howtogeek.com/180162/how-to-tell-if-a-virus-is-actually-a-false-positive/ Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!
