FLY BY WIRE INSTALLER has a TROJAN??
I had a problem this morning my Anti Virus delete the flybywire installer cause of trojan-psw.win32.stealer.ixp so I ''hope'' someone have the same problem and can tell me what is wrong here?

Not necessarily. Probably false alert. AV software recognizes common patterns that suggest it might be some malware. These patterns may also be found in regular software and sometimes you get false alerts. Especially with installers it can happen.

Thank you for the answer! yes I guess so, but can I reinstall it again without no worries?
if you have the file from a reputable source you should be good to go.
