F-15E not authorized

[MAXsenna]

Oh, I'm pretty sure it's not a trojan, but until my anti-virus likes it I've disabled the F-15E (as opposed to disabling my anti-virus) so I don't get the countdown clock as shown in the OP.  Guess I'll re-enable when new patches come out and see if things are more better-er since I have to do a bunch of file updates after every patch anyway.

Won't happen with patches. Only solution would be for your AV to stop falsely flagging those files. To speed that process up you can submit said files to your AV vendor.
Cheers!

I solved the problem, this is the file that the antivirus deletes

Right! Now, if you submit that file to Norton for analysis, you will solve the problem for all your fellow Nortoners. It will steal a couple of minutes of your life though.

I had an issue with F-15E authorization at DCS startup and Norton Antivirus reported malicious behaviour (Trojan.Gen.MBT) in ARF.DLL which was deleted.
I followed the recommendation provided by DCS support (many thanks for the quick reply!) to exclude my DCS World OpenBeta installation folder from Norton Antivirus and did a full repair.
After that, I have uploaded the file <My Open Beta installation folder>\Mods\aircraft\F-15E\bin\ARF.DLL to virustotal.com and still half of the security vendors flagged this file as malicious.

According to some DCS forums, this is a false positive, so why haven't those security providers been informed about the false positive already? I would do that, but based on what proof?
To be honest, I still have an uneasy feeling...

Because every software developer cannot send every file they make to every Anti-Virus provider. Imagine that! But thank you for doing the right thing. You have done the community a service. If everyone did, we'd see this issues solved a lot quicker for all the vendors. That said, I have excluded DCS a looong time ago. Not that any file was flagged, but it wanted better "performance" for the load times.
Cheers!

I have reported ARF.DLL to be a false positive detection to the Symantec/Norton team, let's see what happens...
