104th_Money Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 I updated DCS last night then turned computer off. Booted up awhile later and Windows Defender in Windows 11 Pro flagged this file as a virus. Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!@ml. Its a Combined Arms file. At first I didnt catch that it was from DCS and seeing that WD was saying its severe I isolated the threat. After booting into DCS I got a Combine Arms not available message. I turned off WD and repaired my installation and now CA is working properly but it keeps triggering a WD warning even though WD is now turned off. 1 Intel i9-13900k, Asus Z790-E Gaming Wi-Fi 2 motherboard, 96gb Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5-6600 RGB ram 2x48GB, 4TB Crucial T700 PCIE 5.0 SSD internal, 2TB Crucial T700 PCIE 5.0 SSD internal, Asus ROG Strix OC GeForce RTX 4090, Corsair 7000X Case with 4 x RX120mm side mounted iCue Link intake fans, 3 x RX140mm top mounted iCue Link exhaust fans, 1 x RX120mm rear mounted iCue Link exhaust fans, front mounted Corsair Titan RX 360mm liquid cooler w/iCue Link LCD, 6 x 120mm iCue Link fans in 3 push, 3 pull intake configuration, 1 x 120mm front iCue Link intake fan, 1 x 32" Samsung 3840x2160 display, 1x 32" Asus 2560x1440 display, TrackIR5 w/pro clip, Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle, Winwing Orion F-16EX Joystick and Pebble Beach Velocity pedals.
Wing Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 I had the same issue with ESET NOD32 a couple days ago. It quarantined 2 different combined arms files. I figured it would just my antivirus being too picky, but interesting this is happening now to other platforms. 1 www.v303rdFighterGroup.com | v303 FG Discord

javipamp Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 I also have the same issue. That file is in quarentine by windows defender win10. Maybe it is dangerous. I prefer not to reinstall it until ED says something.

Lange_666 Posted March 26, 2023 Posted March 26, 2023 It's not the first time that a new DCS beta release get flagged by your anti-virus.
