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, 64gb Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR5-6400 RGB ram 2x32gb XMP2 profile, 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 5 x 120mm side mounted intake fans and 3 x 140mm top mounted exhaust fans, 1 x 140mm rear mounted exhaust fans, front mounted Corsair H150i Elite Capellix 360mm liquid cooler w/Elite LCD with 6 x 120mm fans in 3 push, 3 pull intake configuration, 1 x 32" Samsung 3840x2160 display, 1x 32" Asus 2560x1440 display, TrackIR5 w/pro clip, Thrustmaster Warthog stick and throttle, CH Fighterstick Pro 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.
