Also Google is very helpfull to answer this kind of question. 12 hours ago, mopperle said: 2. You wrote: "its also saying there is a trojan attached to it. Who is "its"? Norton, Malwarebytes....? At least it is not the ASUpdater saying this. This is still not answered from your side. If you say that asupdate.exe is excluded in Malwarebytes something else is scanning. Also you should exclude the complete folder from being scanned and not only a single file. And btw. using two scanners in parallel is not a good idea. Such a combination is known for causing problems  5 hours ago, dekker said: So do i have to reinstall A320 and A330 to get get a new updater? A good AV software simply quarantines a file only and does not delete it. so try to get it back this way. If it does not work reinstall the bus, other wise the correct product files might not be in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekker 1 Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 Thanks mopperle for your support.To solve the updater problem i disabled malwarebytes completely and now the updater works as it should.I dont know why malwarebytes did this.ive never had a problem in the the past.the only reason i have norton antivirus and malwarebytes running together is on advice from my bank.after our account was hacked a number of times. Thankyou once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
