Hi,

one strange effect that I have not been able to track down.
In DXKeeper the imported log shows a , in front of every
county, so instead of Monmouth it shows ,Monmouth? this of
course produces a lot or errors with county changed and
invalid secondary administrative subdivision.
Looking at the tab delimited file there is no evidence of the

Is there a simple explanation for whats going on?

Re: Infected file for Commander 14.5.5 update?
There is no trojan or virus in any DXLab executable.??? Just as
there is no virus or trojan in other ham radio programs like
JTAlert, WSJT-X, and many others that get 'triggered' due to some
algorithm only known to Microsoft.???? I have never had a problem
with any DXLab program, nor with the others I mentioned.
Its not so strange that this has occurred to many ham radio
programs since this last Windows update.?? The really bad design
of Defender is that it does not give you any indication of what
its doing nor does it give you a chance to say NO.??? Another
display of how Microsoft wants to 'help' you.
I use a third-party anti-virus that allows me to make the
decisions on what happens when it detects 'a virus'.??? I can
accept the quarantine, continue to install/run the program, or
take the option to send it to their 'virus lab' which then returns
a result within 15 to 20 minutes (often much earlier). Most often
it is a false positive, and they update their definition file at
the same time.

Re: Infected file for Commander 14.5.5 update?
Jack, this happens
altogether too often - I have seen it with software from a
number of different authors and several different anti-virus
programs..? My impression is that some of these anti-virus
programs use heuristics and make a best guess at what they might
be seeing - they are often wrong, particularly with programs
that communicate off-site.

Of course any DX Lab binary can be infected with malware.

years; the installed base is just not large enough to attract attention from criminals.

I understand that, but the Download page that is behind the Download link on the home page does not directly lead you to links to
download the individual executables. It references Launcher as the starting point and advises to use that to install the other apps.
+ That's intentional. The Launcher should be used to install DXLab applications; it's automation eliminates user error.
+ "Downloading executables" is not the way to recover from an attack by your anti-malware applications. The correct procedure is
