Hi guys,
I Just purchased a addon for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and on installing I got the message that Realtime protection has blocked malware from installing.
I am not sure if it is a false positive as it's a popular addon yet I've heard nothing on the internet regarding this software coming up as malware.
I downloaded it from SimMarket where such files are purchased and was recommended by the developer.
I downloaded with the CDN-server option. I also tried the German server option but both were stopped which is concerning.
Anyway to find out if it's a false positive or not? I Posted my experience on the MSFS forums just after the devs post so I'm expecting a reply very soon. If it is Malware others should be warned.
I'm thinking it's a false positive as none else has mentioned any issues.
I'm running Windows 11 Pro, I have core isolation memory integrity off as my PC because it wont boot if I enable XMP in bios with my Gigabyte Aorus z490 Ultra motherboard after updating to the latest BIOS with a i7 10700K which included the security vulnerability patches. Before updating to the latest BIOS's I could enable XMP fine and set my Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 32GB (2x16) memory to run at 3200Mhz. I need my memory overclock for Microsoft flight simulator 2020 so I did this after working out what was causing my PC to boot loop after updating the bios and enabling XMP with isolation enabled in Windows Security.
Not sure if turning that on would change anything but I have to disable XMP first. I also cant revert to earlier BIOS's as they capsuled the latest security patches so can't undo what broke XMP for me in my motherboard BIOS sadly unless I get a fix from Windows or Corsair. Gigabyte said they cant' do anything even though I got the bios from them.
