ny3d1 Posted August 4, 2024 Posted August 4, 2024 My AV-8B module use to work fine, but today I got this error upon starting DCS. Any ideas as to why???

MurrayCod Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 I've got the same issue and it is caused by Norton anti virus blocking the AV8B_FM.dll file. I'm trying to find where Norton has hidden the blocked file and then create an exemption for it to get the Harrier working again.
dantron Posted September 7, 2024 Posted September 7, 2024 The flight sim guys all say: "yeah, it's false positive turn off your AV." But I can't ignore VirtusTotal coming back with 8 positive hits results here --> https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/4f269238a0239e9e64e5b36a545e82a382c8b7e005acf6b5411ff28076020e29 There is something fishy here and Razbam or ED needs to address this please.

Bkav Pro, Cylance, Cynet and Gridinsoft tend to be unreliable as they repeatedly report things incorrectly, even known good files so I tend not to take any notice of them. As for Malwarebytes that's been producing false positives for the last three updates, at one point if removed every single Flaming Cliffs aircraft as it removed a single DLL file out or each aircraft bin folder. In fact pretty much every DCS module has been affected over the last few months by Malwarebytes. The bizarre thing was with the FC aircraft was the day of the patch is just removed the F-15C and A-10A, whitelisted the files the following day then added them back to the blacklist the day after that, along with the rest of the aircraft and it stayed that way for about a week until they were all added back to the whitelist. Normally that happens because end users submit files for manual examination rather than automated scans. As for McAfee that did the same but not so many aircraft but recently it's been flagging all kinds of stuff. As for Microsoft that does from time to time but been more regular recently but they normally whitelist pretty quick. I would never recommend turning a AV off completely, I wouldn't even recommend white listing entire DCS directories but I have whitelisted individual files before but then monitored it and checked to see if they get whitelisted. What you could do is submit the file for manual inspection through your AV, some reply, some don't and just whitelist the file after inspection. Failing that, if people are suspicious it might be tampered with I generally recommend deleting the file and running verify so it downloads again from the server. As for Razbam, with the dispute at the moment they have ceased all support on their modules. Edited September 7, 2024 by TKhaos
