Problems with security from DX10Controller.exe


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi Steve,

there is a problem with the DX10Controller.exe file, downloaded within the fixer 3.4 version (Filghtsimstore.com): The antivirus tool AVIRA diagnostics a prob  "HEUR/APC (Cloud)" within this file and therefore cuts and posts this file into the antivirus-tool quarantine zone. A relocation later from there to the original file location in the DX10SceneryFixer folder is not possible due to several folder security restrictions from the author. So I have installed the DX10 fixer but I can not use the controller. How to get rid of this "HEUR/APC (Cloud)" prob? A complete fixer+clouds reinstallation did not help. I think an AVIRA  switch off is not good....

Why not send them the file so they can check it and then remove it from their Lists? Heur means heuristic which means they have not matched it to a known virus but instead have applied some rules.  It’s a false positive obviously, but there isn’t anything I can do since I don’t know what their rules are.

The DX10Controller.exe file exclusion within the AVIRA tool (->settings ->PC-security ->exception) and the fixer re-installation afterwards again did the trick. Thanks for the hint!
