My antvirus still flagging this mod as dangerous What should I do?

[sanc2775]

How long will it take for the antivirus to stop flagging this mod as dangerous? No matter if I disable the antivirus, every time I restart the PC and try to play DCS, the warning reappears. Please, any advice would be appreciated because I can't keep installing and uninstalling. Come on, guys, it's time to resolve this issue once and for all.

If the AV has the except rule, please do enter the path of DCS,

This is not an news... I do it to avoid the AV makes the false positive alarm.

I managed to do it about five times, staying calm for a while before repeating the process over and over again.

It's quite absurd that the third party must resolve this issue when just two mods are involved every time for me.

Its not easy to resolve it "once and for all". As the DLLs are rebuild on each update and hence have to be handed in for explicit whiteflagging to all creators of AV software again and again with each patch.

Which is done, but often it takes them a bit to process the requests.

It's really ridiculous because this issue has never happened before. I've been in DCS for twenty years and have never seen anything like this. Why now? I can't turn off my antivirus all the time. I've excluded the file from the antivirus search, but it's still giving me a headache, lol.

That's not true, do a search for "false positive", for example:

I setup a folder exclusion rather than just a file exclusion, like this:

 

 

no headaches this way

I have already done it, and I am using Windows Defender as well as ESET.

You are actually only using ESET, as MS Defender disables itself as soon as it detects another Antivirus on your Windows.
