OnionSpider13 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Same issues with McAfee. Adding DCS to the list of excepted applications isn't fixing the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueskunk Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 seems they solved the problem. i started the game up today with no troubles at all. i have no idea what has changed, i didnt change settings in antivirus, nor did i do any update or repair. ... glad it's working again. http://the68thaggressorssquadron.blogspot.com/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyman Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Has your AV been updated, as they might have just got rid of the false positive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyracer Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Hi it is likely a false positive from your antivirus. Excluding DCS and ruining a cleanup and repair will help. Thanks I wish it was that easy! Its likely your incompetence that made this happen. You should be very happy that their is no competition between modern jet fighter sims.

Gaso373 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 WORLDGENERAL.DLL Hi guys, I try to install the ''FA-18C_Battle_Group_Delta_v20191230'' campaign using the guidelines from the first post.

I delete it from the c drive and and try to reinstall it but i m getting the same error report. (I attache the report). Any ideas how i can fix that?autoupdate_log.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silversmith Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Check your antivirus quarantine files ... Lots of folk on the 2.5.6. update are having ''worldgeneral.dll'' detected as virus infected and deleted into quarantine. Looks like the new DRM is spooking many anti-virus programs. What version are you on? 2.5.5 or the new 2.5.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzf18e Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) My McAfee detected something different it was noted as JIT/Suspect.196612!8d59ae9868aa and found in G:Eagle Dynamics\DCS WOrld OpenBeta\bin\DCS.exe. Why is DCS piggybacking a virus with a game update, what the heck is THAT? Needless to say after this incident I've become wary of buying anything else from this company . . . .

shastasm Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Virus in latest version Hello. I just recently updated to the latest version of Beta. Is it possible that a virus is transferred through the servers. My virus protection keeps quarantine the DCS.exe file with the following virus code: Suspect!8dS9ae9868aa If I unquarantine it, the virus software just keeps blocking it. Also have tried to update/clean through the DCS Utility Tool. Advise needed please 2020 Rig Chasse: bequiet!

ex81 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 And your reply is to attack me personally and imply i am stupid because i am not an IT guru like you (I assume?). Never before i had false positives with any game nor DCS but only with this patch. The game wouldn’t even load. So this patch had a big change on something with exes and dlls that makes av go crazy - along with all the other bugs and major performance issues vr and 2d. So yeah i blame the game developer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Well said ! I am simply a customer and I want to play a game, not to study IT or whatever it`s called.

shastasm Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Thanks for the link. For those of you having the same problem in McAfee, Restore the quarantine DCS.exe, then add the DCS.exe file under the bin folder to your excluded files under the PC Security, real-time scanning. Hopefully, DCS and McAfee will work on this issue in the future. 2020 Rig Chasse: bequiet!
