Simrail.exe seen as a threat by Kaspersky : PDM:Trojan.Win32.Generic

[starefly]

With latest update simrail.exe is seen as a threat (PDM:Trojan.Win32.Generic) by Kaspersky and it deletes the file... a bit annoying...

[N.N.Q]

I had that before with the "zfgamebrowser.exe".

I see Kaspersky as a threat because it is a russian company.

Such as MacAfee if you want to go that way...

That is quite True. Some Ukrainian People I know, said "Kaspersky AV seems to be flagging Ukrainian, Polish, and other Ex-Soviet Countries developed programs, And Word Documents in those Languages."

After hearing that, I do think its a threat. And I told the affected friends to get it the hell off their PC, And use Malware Bytes or Even Microsofts Defender Insted.

You cant trust a russian Comapany to be neutral.

If you have Kaspersky, Do a complete uninstall. And please use something else. I dont think that it is a coincedence, If its flagging Innocent Word Documents Written in Ukrainian, or Khazak etc, I think that is malicious.

Dont use Kaspersky anymore guys. Goodness knows what else it is doing.

The German "Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik" (Federal Office for Information Security) has also warned of Kaspersky because antivirus software has extensive system authorizations and could be used by Russia for cyber attacks.
Also there are warnings in many other countries, most of them before the invasion of Ukraine.

(You have to use a translator, it's in German, of course)

But keeping away of all Russian software products (and games) is not needed. I believe many of you are still using MSI Afterburner (based on Riva Tuner and is from the same developer) for GPU optimisation (OC, fan speed control)...

Just add SimRail.exe to the program exceptions in Kaspersky! This is how any antivirus reacts, which does not see the developer's signature on the executable file. And watch less TV, it's dangerous for you

Even adding it as an exception, it still deletes the *.exe. I just kill KAV to fix the issue.

Lol, You just had to update SimRail and that's it. After a recent update, antiviruses no longer swear at the simrail.exe file
