Hello,
After installing the new DataFlex 19.1 Beta 1 my virusscanner deleted a file because there was a threat found. See screenshots attached to this message.
1250412505
Scanner is: Symantec endpoint protection Small Business Edition.
Any suggestions DataAccess?

Hi Leon,
I had the same issue with Avira.
Suggestion: turn off Antivirus during install and add WebApp.exe (or the whole application) to the exception list. Also report it to Symantec, so they can fix this false positive immediately :rolleyes:

Peter,
Thanks for the tip, but excluding does not work. Symantec looks at a file signature and after compiling sees it as a new file, that is promptly deleted. I am in the process of reporting it to Symantec.
Symantec almost looks like ransomware, the only difference is that they are payed up front.

Hi Leon,
I've added my 19.1 folders to the exclude list for Norton's SONAR: Settings > Antivirus > Scans and Risks tab > Exclusions / Low Risks group > Items to Exclude from Auto-Protect, SONAR and Download Intelligence Detection.

Hello Dennis,
Sadly enough my version does not have that feature (enabled). I am trying to get the file to technical support by symantec, so far whitout luck. Do you have any idea why the scanner sees this .exe as a threat, but not the other webapp.exe files?
