PS many times I have seen posts and had to restrain myself from saying what I was really thinking.

Dave is being kind to you guys and I suspect that his sense of decorum prohibits him from saying what he really feels
REMEMBER
1) For those of you in the Chicken Little Brigade the next time the sky is falling , then before you jump in with a problem report on the same problem for the 10th time today, Check the traffic to see if someone else has reported the problem and the solution and quit wasting Dave's time.
2) It is called a "PERSONAL" computer for a reason. What Dave has hinted at least a dozen times today but decorum prohibits from saying is, " Hey Appliance Operators & Microsoft Zombies" learn to use and control your PERSONAL computer. It is not a television set with a clicker.
3) BACK UP OFTEN ... I learned that lesson the hard way with a lightning strike 15 years ago, software virus attacks are kittens by comparison .I'll spare you the gory details??? but the loss of radio equipment and??? computer hardware was trivial compared to the loss of 40 years of all my logs which I had digitized . ( I rationalized that I needed an excuse to start over anyway ..which in fact was kinda fun)??? . I takes less than 30 seconds to back up your log every day to a removable USB device most of the rest of it can restored with new installs if necessary.
4) MICROSOFT IS THE ENEMY .... ( The Apple farmers and and Linux Cat Herders are no better) ... NEVER FORGET THAT ...take control of your lives. Education is the key and your never too old to learn. You cant beat them. They could care less that a few thousand of you have a free download computer program that gives a false positive virus alert. I ditched Windows Defender the day It showed up.??? I use a 3rd party program (An "App" is a marketing guys invention??? for the word Program which was too hard for them to spell) and it lets me make the decisions about what I get and ASKS me very pointedly if I really want block something or quarantine it. I am not suggesting or recommending that you use MY CHOICE of virus protection that is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to research and decide, no mater which one you use though??? what comes through or gets blocked is _*YOUR*_ _*RESPONSIBILITY *__*, you need to be informed and take responsibility for checking the right box.*_ My well researched choice by the way updated DXLab last night without so much as a grunt.

5) Dave, AA6YQ: I looked??? for a few minutes and could find no where to donate financially to the cause. I know it is freeware but after venting the above diatribe, I wanted??? to say thank you in a more personal way financially. As I reach the winter of my life I increasingly realize how valuable??? ones personal time is. ,,,,, Thank you again and keep up the good work...now I am off to the back yard to sweep up the little blue pieces of sky that fell there

1. Neither Commander nor any other DXLab application is infected with a virus. The anti-malware application telling you otherwise is
defective.
2. You can confirm this for yourself:
<>
3. If you don't replace your defective anti-malware application, expect to frequently repeat this experience; please don't report
those repetitions here. It's irrelevant that your anti-malware application never did this in the past; it's doing it now, and will
likely do so in the future.
4. If your anti-malware application has quarantined or deleted the file
CI-V Commander.exe
from your Commander folder,
4a. make a copy of the file
CI-V Commander1453.exe
4b. rename this copy
CI-V Commander.exe
If you've already upgraded to Commander 14.5.5, then in step 4a above, make the copy of
CI-V Commander1455.exe
Whatever you do, never panic! Deleting application folders or directing Windows to uninstall applications can convert a
trivial-to-repair incident into a disaster. If you don't know what to do, post a question here.
