I think its a general problem with some programs that try to connect to the internet?
ps, you would get more luck in the Games & Software forum..

Yeah, they are bought and payed for!:o
My main concern was to see if any one else had seen the same thing with different types of virus software.

This is too weird. I did a scan with my AV today, same as yours AVG, and it showed trojans in the Christen Eagle, and the Dreamfleet T-O-M, and yes my Dreamfleet planes are all legit 8)

Well I just shot a e-mail off to Flight 1......
It has to be something in the downloaders showing up as a trojan.

It could be your anti-virus software, there was a big broohah a while back over some freeware kite (can't remember which), everyone with one certain type of anti-virus software got a warning...
I've never had a problem with any PMDG product.

ozzy......
That's what I'm hoping it is......The problem being, The AVG version isnt' freeware!......I registered it!
But all the same, It does come recomended by alot of people I've talked too.

The broohar over the freeware aircraft a few months ago was the Stearman, it was also AVG that gave the false positive.
I'm almost certain that it is the same in this case.
