| Itai Ben-Artzi | Threats report
on Sat, 25 Oct 2014 01:33:16 -0700I’ve just installed 2.0 at my computer and I am getting a strong warning
from Norton AV about “asget.exe” and “update-cash” (Norton removes them as
threats). Please advice on these [alleged] threats. Does Alaska use/create
these files? Should I ignore these threats?
Many thanks,

think that AV uses a too harsh heuristic scan or something else. I also
had problems with my virus scanner that told me some time ago my Xbase++
exe's bear a virus. Allways false alarm.

I'll exclude this file from the scan.

on Tue, 04 Nov 2014 22:31:06 +0100There is a feature of Norton AV that identifies my apps built with Xbase++ as
threats and that deletes the exe files without asking. This feature can be
turned off. I think that Norton sees these as threats because of the run time
compile capability.
