I just got a antivirus pop up message that the AV8B module has a trojan install in the AV8B_CPT.dll?

If anyone else has Norton installed and the latest version of DCS DCS 2.9.5.55300 could you scan this file and see if you got the same results?

False positive. There are plenty of reports like this on both forums, Steam and here.

AV programs today resorts to questionable methods to justify their existence.

Make and exception to the whole DCS root folder and make a DCS repair. That was likely the authenticator file for the module.
