Alicatt Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) Add another one, and Bit Defender just deleted those files too Having to re download the whole of the Open Beta as even though DCS was on an exclusion Bit Defender successfully disabled the whole DCS Edited June 8, 2023 by Alicatt Sons of Dogs, Come Eat Flesh Clan Cameron
LCL_Babar_fr Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 www.digitalcombatsimulator.com seem to get issue too. I am not sure if it's a false positive or if they are under attack, from people trying to use auto-update to infect pc.

maxTRX Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 I'm glad I held off from updating. Whether it's bogus or real... they need to straighten their s*** up. Well, I'm going to extend my little vacation from DCS
Dragan Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) Having trouble loading DCS tonight? I have and I just wrote a post about it.Version DCS 2.8 stable Edited June 8, 2023 by Dragan
Swiso Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 Same here. Affected are two files: -MirageF1Core.dll -C101Core.dll Bitdefender as well
Slippa Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 Just updated without any warnings. Now I'm wondering how well my AV is covering things. Good luck all.
Swiso Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 I just deleted both with Bitdefender and then did a DCS repair. All good now, checked the actual two files on the bin folder of the two planes and the version there is from the 08.6.2023. The two files causing the virus warning were from 09.6.2023. Apparently all is good now. 1
TrichomeCharlie Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Before I add DCS to an exception list or start deleting and reinstalling... Can someone explain how this would happen all of a sudden? (im not very tech savvy) Im just trying to understand if I've had the game for years and Bitdefender for years why would this get flagged now during the latest update? Thank you for any insight....

Swiso Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) Rudel, could you check please when these two files were last modified on your install? X:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods\aircraft\C-101\bin : C101Core.dll X:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods\aircraft\Mirage-F1\bin : MirageF1Core.dll Mine, now are from the 8th of June. Early this morning, the 2 files in question ( that were reported as a virus) were listed as last modified on the 9th of June. Not sure it had to do with false positive. After deleting them and repairing DCS, now they look ok and no more warnings from Bitdefender. Edited June 9, 2023 by Swiso
hopa267 Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 After delete the 2 files i have another issue with steam

Bitdefender has never flagged a DCS file but thanks for the link.
TrichomeCharlie Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 I had Bitdefender delete those files. Went into STEAM to do an integrity check and it said it successfully validated the files...shouldn't it have failed or "fixed" those files I deleted? Not sure if Im missing something or its going to be a whole reinstall. 1

It happened to me once, many years ago … placed DCS on the AV exclusion list and never had to suffer this again. 17 minutes ago, TrichomeCharlie said: Bit defender has never flagged a DCS file but thanks for the link. Everytime DCS is updated, or you purchase a new dlc, a lot of new DCS files get downloaded … any one of them could be flagged by the AV, its a chance game 1 1 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB

I know, you already 'repaired' and running. Just curious.
