July 22, 20169 yr Author Well having googled this problem Windows Defender was slow getting onto this ...... AVG, Nortons etc etc having been detecting Prepar3D as malware for months and months!!!

July 28, 20169 yr Author I am sadly still getting the same problem .... Windows Defender informs me that the setup exe is malware and decides to uninstall it ..... I then decided to download just the setup exe individual component and then de-activate Defender in order to install Prepar3D which all went fine About half an hour later Defender once again notified me that it was removing the 'so called' malware but as I had installed Prpear3D successfully I didn't worry about it ..... The one thing I have noticed is that there are now only three entries listed under 'Uninstall a program' in the 'Control Panel The only three entries listed are:- Install Client Install Scenery Install Content The thing is .. Prepar3D is working fine so should I be unduly worried? Cheers Paul

October 27, 20169 yr Hello! I was faced with a similar problem, Avast saw all the files .exe as malware. After that, Avast missed Locky ransomware on my laptop. The solution I found here:http://myspybot.com/######-files-virus/ Now everything works well
March 23, 20179 yr Hi, the problem is in Windows defender. I also encountered this. Here is another thread on this topic By the way, thanks for the links!
March 23, 20179 yr All flight sims meet the definition of malware. They slow your PC's performance, are annoying, take control of your computer and drain your bank account, without you even noticing that the money is gone.
