speedbird144 Posted November 17, 2020 Report Posted November 17, 2020 Greetings. My Kaspersky AV keeps deleting FSUIPC files which was discussed here already. I know it is a false positive. I spoke to Kaspersky but they seems cannot help. I wonder if anyone who has Kaspersky AV figured out how to prevent Kaspersky from deleting (disinfecting) FSUIPC7? I followed all steps Kaspersky suggested steps but it did not help. Thanks for looking.
John Dowson Posted November 18, 2020 Report Posted November 18, 2020 The .bat file just contains a html page with an embedded javascript section which I guess is the problem. Not sure why Kaspersky (and also Malwarebytes flags this as a virus. Other virus scanners seem to be ok, although I have had one report of Windows Defender marking it as suspicious, which is strange... I'm not sure there's anything I can do about this, you just need to add an exception or restore it once quarantined, however the virus checker works. I don't have or use Kaspersky, so I can't really advise. John
speedbird144 Posted November 30, 2020 Author Report Posted November 30, 2020 Kaspersky devs has reached me out. I sent them files and they are looking into it. I added files to exemption but Kaspersky still does not like it. Will see what they find. Also It started flagging SDK-Python zip folder, also google drive and gmail flagged that foldder as virus (I sent KA files via gmail and google drive).
John Dowson Posted December 1, 2020 Report Posted December 1, 2020 Strange. The same python SDK has been included with FSUIPC5/6 for many years without issue. Lets see what they say. Malwarebytes also seems to have some false positives with FSUIPC7, but I think with the .bat file.
Riboods Posted June 11, 2022 Report Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) Hey, I have Kaspersky and I had the same issue for a while. I may have found a fix. It would happen all the time when starting MSFS from the FSUIPC7 shortcut. Even if I added the entire folder as an exemption on Kaspersky, it would still flag as malware. If I start FSUIPC7.exe first from the installation location, and then start up the game from steam (or shortcut for steam) it works fine. It's been fine for at least a week so I think this may be solved. Hope it helps. Edited June 11, 2022 by Riboods
