    Hello All,

    An old simmer returning to the fold after several years without the means to run a sim. A very old Dell running Linux just wasn't up to the job. Thanks to Paul, I can now post into the forum.

    Just installing CFS3 ETO Expansion on a Win7 64bit machine and my anti-virus has quarantined CFS3 ETO Expansion BDP Zapper.$$A in its words 'before it could do any harm' referring to it as a Trojan.Generic.2005070

    I seem to remember false positive issues with the BDP Zapper ages ago when I was using McAffee anti-virus, it is OK to try and brain-bash BullGuard Antivirus into leaving the Zapper alone isn't it.

    Mods. If I've posted this in the wrong place, please accept my apologies and if you would move it to its correct home I'd be very grateful.

    Regards

    Timothy

    Red Five,

    It is a false positive.

    There are replacements for the files being removed by your anti-virus.

    Here: http://www.beauscfs3.leaveningonline...eto_files.html

    These replace those files from ETO 1.0 and ETO 1.20.

    ETO 1.40 and up use these newer ones, so there will be no problem with them.

    Many thanks grizzly50, especially for the link to get the replacements.
