jaje Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hi Peter Having probs with Microsoft Security Essentials. Just installed P3D v3, after running FSX for years, and downloaded the latest FSUIPC modules. As soon as I try to expand the zip, MSE deletes the files and posts "Trojan: Win32/Varpes.M!cl". As a result, my installation on P3D hasn't happened, and my FSX no longer has access to FSUIPC. Any suggestions gratefully received John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 FSUIPC is fine. MSE is getting a false positive. You'll need to report it to MS -- I'm sure there must be a mechanism for that. . Meanwhile there must surely be a way of making an exception in that package.. Are you using the 4.957 Installer BTW? There's no other supported version for P3D at present. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaje Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Thanks for the info Pete. I can't find any way to report a false positive to MSE, but managed to instal 4.957 by turning off MSE and everything is fine. I just wonder if it uses pattern recognition to make the identification - I do notice that there are a few typos in the documentation with random full stops in the word chain for example. I'll keep trying to get in touch with MSE and report the false positive John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What MSE documentation, or FSUIPC? Virus checkers aren't looking at text but program fragments. They have a library binary code sections which they compare to. They'd be well out of luck with FSUIPC because it is compressed and scrambled and only becomes code when it is finally loaded into FS's memory. Random matches could easily occur but be totally meaningless. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaje Posted October 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Hi Peter Solved the problem by uninstalling MSE - I have other protections available - AVG etc. Sent a false positive message to MSE but no reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
