Goodnight,
First of all I have to say that I have been using the GTNXi since the last one was released yesterday, without any problem.
Today I started the simulator with the Cessna 414AW Chancellor (a plane I used yesterday without any problem) and the GTNXi did not start when I activated the avionics.
I try changing planes, and using Milviz's Cessna 310 and the same thing happens.
Surprised, I launch the desktop version and the GTNXi opens its window but it stays the same as on airplanes within MSFS: its black screen.
Looking deeper, I see an alert from the Microsoft Windows Defender program warning me that it has detected a serious threat and quarantined a file.
The threat is detected as Trojan:Script/Wacatac.H!ml
The file they quarantine:
C:\Users\miguel\AppData\Local\Temp\TDS\Temporary\GTNXi EXE Flight Simulator\TDS\GTNXi\FlightSimEXE\TDSGTNServices.dll
and
C:\ProgramData\TDS\GTNXi\FlightSimEXE\TDSGTNServices.dll
Using GTNXi Trainer version: 3.3.1.0
Using program version for MSFS: 1.0.2.0
Well, if I give the exception to the threat through Windows Defender, that is, I "ignore" the warning (and therefore that file is not quarantined), GTNXi starts correctly whether I launch it on the desktop or inside of the simulator.
My questions are:
is it correct to do this i.e. ignore this kind of threat in antivirus software?
Can I still make this exception without problem to use the software or shouldn't I?
Why is it now (and not before) that the TDS GTN is detected as carrying a Trojan?
Thanks for the help.
