Actually, I don't run any AV software. So that's not it. I've found that the best defense against viruses is to avoid email and web surfing entirely. That's what tablets are for. My gaming machine is for games. Period.

So there's some salt in the wound.... I just did the full clean install and double-clicked the DCS World icon. This sent the program out to look for updates, and I got the same error message.... Which means, unless this gets resolved I can look forward to another complete wipe on the next update. Hopefully there's a way to salvage my controller settings and logs or I'll pretty much be giving up on anything else DCS related, like all of those other aircraft I -was- planning to buy.

Why do I get this error every time DCS attempts to update? For update 1.2.6 and now 1.2.7 I've had to do complete removal and clean installs because DCS Updater has this error. I'm running windows 7 64 bit. I have rebooted the computer to ensure any processes that may have been started on my initial attempt were stopped.
