PhantomTweak Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Did you delete it's entry in the EXE.xml file? It sounds to me that, if you uninstalled it, but it starts up, that you didn't uninstall the one called in the EXE.xml file. Look through that file, and follow the path it specifies to the flightdeck6.exe file, or whatever the .exe file that starts it up is called. Delete that file, and everything else in it's folder, assuming it has it's own folder and isn't installed in a folder with many other, unrelated .exe files. If it is, then just delete the flightdeck6.exe, or whatever it uses to start. Or just change the .exe extension to .BAK, or something. ANYthing other than .exe. Then, delete the entry of it in the EXE.xml file. Same place as the FSX.cfg file. Open it with NotePad or NotePad++, edit it, then save it off, and close. Then see if it starts up automatically. Make a backup of the EXE.xml file before you start, of course, so you can go back to what worked if something gets totally messed up. I personally use AICarriers.NET, a newer version of AIC, and it seems to work a lot better than the original. Uses many fewer computer resources, etc. I can post a link to it if you desire. I don't know that relation it has to the Flightdeck 6 program, but I know for a fact it works fine as a standalone. Hope this helps a little :) Pat☺ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again! Sgt, USMC, 10 years proud service, Inactive reserve now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

napamule2 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 There is a trojan (virus) that is also named '3wirex.exe'. If you have a 'win32.sality' file in your Window Sys32 folder, then you have a (very nasty) virus. Hard to get rid of. Google for a removal program. Good luck.

napamule2 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 No virus scanner will detect it. It also self modifies itself so it changes it's disguise daily. Did you check your window\system32 folder for that file I listed? Did you go to the site I listed to read up on it or get the 'fix' tool? I might be over reacting I admit. It's a sleeper back door trojan. A time bomb. Oh well, hopefully you don't have it.
