DCS - To Run As Administrator, or not?

So what do you do when a DCS update fails because your AV detects something wrong in one file that is needed for just one module? Do you uninstall the module? What if they never fix it, which in my experience is the norm. When I've reported this as a bug I've universally been told that it's a false positive that I should ignore and create an exception for, but no one ever offers any proof that it's a false positive.

As to the second point, I've never gotten SRS to run properly except with admin privileges. Not sure why it needs those. If anyone has thoughts on how to run it without admin privileges I would like to know how.

I'll send it in to the virus company I use and not use the module.  I don't think that's ever been an issue with the app as a whole, just modules, and even then it just tweaked some heuristic; usually in a DLL.  I have a lot of DCS modules, and even more than one simulator, so if something is questionable I go on to something else.  It's rarely a problem for more than a week or two.

As for SRS, since I can't do multiplayer anymore even if I wanted (I rather rudely export displays and even *gasp* edit the default countermeasures program on the F-18.  I know; not worthy to live) it's not an issue.  Not sure when I loaded it last.

Maybe I'm an exception, because playing a particular game isn't a top priority; it's how I relax and blow off a little steam.  Or large amounts of virtual ordinance.  I have several ways to blow off steam and relax.
