- Ω - Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 I installed and ran the new version of Tursi's Classic 99 and all went well, I then ran the Telnet program and all went well, but after I ran RXB, my computer deleted Classic 99 from the computer by itself. I thought that was odd and tried to reinstall just the classic 99 program from the ZIP and it gave me a virus warning. I'm not up enough on the culprit to determine which program started it, but I've fallen back to an older version or Classic 99 for now.

RickR Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 oh no! Is it your virus scanner that deleted it? DegasElite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossBow Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 Likely something with the heuristic scanning of your virus software that is flagging code it doesn't like but it actually safe. I've got a lot of older emulators and some game installers that passed fine years ago but now seem to trigger my mal-ware bytes and I have to keep removing the files from quarantine and add them to the exclusion lists. Heck we have legit software we install at work that flags both our virus software and our hardware firewalls. The ONLY way to run that software and get it installed is to use outside networks and run the installer on the computer after taking it off the network because our network security just kills it instantly. In the case of the software at work, it is because the installer uses auto installing scripts to install several different software packages one after the other through a single EXE and this is interpreted as virus behavior. Our network security specialist refuses to account for this to change it since we found a work around anyway...

ElectricLab Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 If someone is releasing a malware-laden installer for Tursi's Classic99, you should let him know so he can be aware of it. RickR and - Ω - 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did. He said it was a false "machine learning" error and that he would write a ticket to Microsoft.
