More antivirus issues re: F15 E & Razzbam

[Maolain]

Getting this warning when booting the game. Spent time learning how to exclude files/folders from my ESET antivirus. As I suck when it comes to pc stuff, I can’t be sure I’m doing this correctly. See attached. If I am in fact doing it properly, are there things I’m missing? (BTW, I purchased the F15 several months ago.  )

thanks for any help

I dont use ESET, but your exclusions seem ok .. but no need to exclude the EXE file, as excluding the folder its on achieves the same thing.

What you may be missing, is that your AV has already tampered with the DCS files, by removing an F-15E file ... either recover the file from the ESET infected files quarantine area, or by performing a DCS repair process (using the command "DCS_Updater repair")

Hi Maolain,

You need to exclude the root directory.

Hope this helps. It helped me though.

Maybe we should classify ED's anti antivirus posture as a bug

Same with Bitdefender on my system.

I was able to recover the data from Bitdefenders quarantine. It was a Trojaner.
