Air Manager 4.0 updater

[Helibrewer]

The updater downloads "setup.exe" which my virus scanner says contains: "Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml" and it gets quarantined. then removed. Same happens when manually downloading from the wiki....

Just throw it into something like virustotal:

In the end it's up to you.

which AV are you using ? - and as @Ralph says. do a realistic check on 'virustotal' the AV / real-time scanning is so damn sensitive these days that the rate of false positives is high.
What is really freaking annoying is when the AV 'removes' / quarantines the 'suspect' file without notice !. - it is sometimes desirable to turn it OFF ! - but, unfortunately, as much as I love 'defender' this cannot be done as disabling real time is automatically re enabled after a short time.

If you are using something like 'avast' etc, then shut down the real time scan shield - preferably permanently //

Hi, @Corjan

I must say I have lost confidence in the AM update system ATM.

Of late I do not get update notices. Before AM used to notify me on startup that an update was available. NO MORE.

If it had not been for a few members having issues with knobster in BETA build 21, I would have not known of my long awaited fixes being already sorted and been "old grumpy" for much much longer.

It may be that a firewall is preventing these updates, but these firewall are necessary and a work around is necessary.

There is no indication that an update is available.
There is no option to inquire if an update is available.

Hope a solution can be found to this frustration.

EDIT: One of the issues I had was the plugin did not want to update. Kept getting permission refusal on the FS2020 bridge. Can we not remove all the FS2020 bridge stuff for those who do not want the MS rubbish? So like you have a windows and os option. Have a non MS2020 option.
Question... Can i delete the MS2020 bridge if I do not want it??

Hi Keith, just FYI ..I very much doubt it is ever a firewall issue. This would not normally cause the issues you mention.

Firewall and AV are completely different aspects.
Cheers,

Hi

OK, Lets see. Corjan mentioned a knobster fix today.
I will post "IT UPDATED" if that update reaches me.

Keith,

Just in case you are still having update issues we are now at BETA 22.

Keith,

Just in case you are still having update issues we are now at BETA 22.

Thank you Tony,

Yes still issue and on beta 21

Corjan is going to jump on my machine just now to investigate the xplane crashes. I will get him to look at the update issue at the same time.

"IT UPDATED"

AM was booting from airmanager.exe instead from Bootloader.exe.

That one is now sorted. Thank you Corjan.

I didn’t suggest that because Corjan advised that when you complained about it last time and I thought you changed it to boot loader then. Obviously not.
