Meijer 2 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Just started my computer and Windows Defender warns: (Text is in Dutch sorry) Trojan:Win32/Zpevdo.A Waarschuwingsniveau: Ernstig Status: In quarantaine geplaatst Datum: 19-7-2018 Aanbevolen actie: Bedreiging nu verwijderen. Categorie: Trojaans paard Details: Dit programma is gevaarlijk en het voert opdrachten van een kwaadwillende gebruiker uit. Betrokken items: startup: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\aerosoft - A318-A319 Professional - PREPAR3D V4.x\A3xx Configurator.lnk file: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\aerosoft - A318-A319 Professional - PREPAR3D V4.x\A3xx Configurator.lnk file: D:\Program Files\Aerosoft A318-A319 Professional\Configurator\Aerosoft.A318_19.Configurator.exe I removed the file of course. But what does is do there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted July 19, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted July 19, 2018 Interesting how the Windows Defender comes to different conclusions on different system. I was never told by him that he thinks there is a virus in the Aerososft files. So much for the trustworthiness of anti virus software. Aerosoft scans all files prior shipment and you an be sure that there is nothing included that comes even close to be a virus, trojan or malware. False positives are a general problem in the anti virus software industry, and with all the security problems that were made public the last years one starts to question if they are not doing more harm than good to a system.

thenewbpilot 2 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Just wanted to add to this. I had Airbuses installed since the release day and never had any issues with it but when I started up my PC in the afternoon today I got the same report. I had my PC turned on in the morning without any virus warning, so this leads me to believe Windows Defender might had an update of some sorts during this period?

vogon22 3 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 ah i see, so there's nothing to be concerned about then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted July 19, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted July 19, 2018 Absolutely not. At you settings ANY application that changes files (like a configurator has to do) is highly suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A320pilot23 18 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I have the same problem and Windows Defender just deleted the configurator.exe... Is there any way to get it back without having to install the Bus again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted July 19, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted July 19, 2018 No, and before re-installing you need to configure an exclusion into the Windows defender to prevent this from happening again. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028485/windows-10-add-an-exclusion-to-windows-defender-antivirus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted July 19, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted July 19, 2018 @Driver8 just forwarded the following link to me (thanks for that!) which explains how to restore quarantined files: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/restore-quarantined-files-windows-defender-antivirus Nevertheless it is necessary to configure the above linked exclusion to prevent any future problems.
