Good morning everyone I recently have this problem with Norton 360 antivirus and TSDX12 64bit. When I close the program, after working with the editor, or running some scenario, I receive the message that the executable is attacked by the IDP.Generic virus and will be quarantined. It seems that it only affects this program. Why? Norton 360 antivirus I attach the screenshots, hoping they are visible Thanks for the resolution.
I've been using Norton since the first PC virus existed. It was called Pong and Norton defended me even in the office when many other antiviruses let through all existing viruses... Sometimes Norton is more restrictive than others... I would like more serious answers.
If you desire to use an Anti Virus you will need to authenticate certain programs to bypass the firewall you have enabled. If not then TSC/Steam will not be able to communicate. "To enable a program via Norton, open your Norton security product, go to "Settings", then "Firewall", and on the "Program Control" tab, find the program you want to allow, select it, and change the "Access" setting to "Allow" from the drop-down list; then click "Apply" to save the changes."
There is probably some difference in the DX12 executable compared to the other one, which is interpreted by Norton as a potential virus. I will wait for the final version of this experiment, in order to verify the resolution of the problem, given that the version with the other directx does not cause a problem.
I typically enable the whole of the Railworks folder. This has worked for me in the past rather than calling out a specific file. If you trust one file then you trust all of them?
There is this Heroes of the Storm announcer / streamer named Khaldor. Fun, smiling, joking kind of guy. He is German, does a lot of exercise and happens to be bald. He can usually travel fine but he explained that he has a lot of struggle with entering the US. They always presume that a bald, strong German must be trouble. Specifically, a word starting with N, and not the American version. That's Norton behaviour in a nutshell. Viruses tend not to be picky, so if the DX12 requires quarantine but the DX9 does not, both being 64 bit executables, it's the immigration officer trying to be most important guy of the day.
The solution seems to work. We'll see in the next few days, Ts has been working hard for about ten years on the route I'm building and will continue to keep me busy for a long time in the future.
When the likes of Norton, kapersky, Mcafee and so on were first introduced yes there was indeed a need for them, now though Windows Defender that is free with your operating system is more than enough to protect your system, however it cannot combat stupidity and dodgy web usage. Norton and the others are all about selling you products they scare and hyperbole you into thinking you can't safely use the web without you'd be better investing your money on sky hooks, ashtrays for motorbikes or chocolate fireguards. Serious answer? OK, not that I haven't been serious because I have and still am, Norton or any other AV is NOT needed in 2024 on Win11. But hey it's your money to waste, I'm not telling you how to spend it. Just pointing out the truth.
If you are paying that company for false flagging, turn to their support and ask them why they decide to flag this, which is not a virus. The issue is not TSC but that Norton app you have paid for. Norton is rubbish and a scam playing with people's fears. Just like McAfee based his company on spreading hype about a terrible "Michelangelo" virus just so people buy his "protection" suite which is nothing than paid spyware. What the real purpose of Kaspersky is, does not need to be discussed, as it is too obvious. Microsoft know better how to protect their own system, so all you need is Windows Defender, and good passwords - which is the weakest point in a system anyway. That's on you.
Do not agree with you. Microsoft is the reason we have computervirus. Microsoft supports antivirus companies.
I only heard negative reports about the Test Version DX12. What made you decide that this is the version of your choice ?
The reason we have computervirus is that Windows was initially not meant to be a system connected to the internet, which Bill Gates considered a passing hype in the early 90s. Making it safe took a long time as opposed to Unix-like systems which were designed to be multi user and networking systems with strong security. Fun fact: Did you know that Apple started their business with scamming telephone companies with their 2600 Hz Blue Box enabling toll free long distance calls?
That is a bit strong. Anti-virus programs provide other benefits. It is up to each pc owner how they wish to maintain their system. Respectfully
There are hacks and cracks for every kind of system. One problem is that users tend to follow their passwords but still want to recover the data or system access. As for malware, it's usually users executing them. Sometimes in very innocent ways, such as opening a website, opening a spreadsheet, or starting a program that looks like another or an innocent text file. Some years back companies would completely disabled JS and plugins in browsers, because who needs them. Would be funny to try today. Of course, it could be done less naively, but imagine this... Everyone is like me! TSC is only from Steam. It's signed. You cannot inject DLLs to it. RWE? AP? Forget them. Static content is fine, but forget about scripts. You also cannot install Total Commander or WinZip. You are entitled to use the File Manager and its built in stuff. RAR and other formats never happened. Notepad is still like 1985 because nobody came up with Notepad++. Our first virus happened because we got it from a friend. It may have been Lemmings but more likely Indianapolis 500. The virus did work, I like motorsports ever since.
I remember that Amiga virus that replaced L/Disk-Validator that was very widespread. Imagine on Windows a virus replaced scandisk.exe and altered your files whenever you ran it Or the bootblock viruses that proudly scared you with a flashing copper rainbow telling you "YOUR DISK IS INFECTED WITH XYZ VIRUS!"
