Trojan in download manager and couatl.exe?

(1/4) > >>

conchulio:
Hello,

i recently downloaded the "Stand-alone addon manager" to update all my FSDT airports. Everything went well until i started FSX: my antivirus program said the following:

...fsx\fsdreamteam\couatl\couatl.exe (diagnosis: Malware family: Trojan.Win32.Packer.EnigmaProtector1.1X-1.3X (ep))...

Is there something wrong with couatl?

In addition, from the following airports i cant see the buildings anymore: FSDT KORD, KJFK and KLAS. Quite strange is the fact that at FSDT LSZH everything is well...

I checked the scenery library but nothing wrong here...

I would be glad for any kind of support :)

Sincerly

Conchi

There is nothing wrong with Couatl or the addon manager, but every virus scanner sees it as bad.  You have to exclude it from your scanner.

Be sure you also install the scenery with the antivirus entirely off because, if you simply configure the scanner to exclude the file in the FSX folder, it will still remove the file when it's in the temporary folder created by the installer (which is always different) so, the file will be blocked anyway at install time.
