I just tried to upgrade Commander to the latest version and it's telling me it can't because the Commander.exe does not exist. This is after I followed the directions suggested to exclude it from being quarantined by Windows Defender. Now what do I do?

+ Directing your anti-malware application to stop quarantining Commander in the future will not undo the quarantining it has already done. Direct it to restore the quarantined Commander. If you don't know how to do that, please contact Microsoft Support.

+ Alternatively, use Windows Explorer to navigate to your Commander folder. If the file

CI-V Commander1455.exe

+ is present, make a copy of it. If that file isn't present but the file

CI-V Commander1453.exe

+ is present, make a copy of it.

+ However you created the copy, rename it to

CI-V Commander.exe

Re: DXKeeper: Aux panel appears after Sync LotW QSOs operation

 

+ AA6YQ comments below

Thank you Dave,

That's very interesting. But,
1. Right now I clicked on that QSO in my LPD, and the country code says 291; also the "rx band" field (in the Aux panel) says "6M". This QSO was logged to DXK from WSJT-X. I'm not surprised it contained incorrect info - I've run into that problem before. I don't understand why it is now correct in DXK.
2. Before the KD2KJU QSO I made other QSOs on 6M and 30M today. I uploaded these QSOs in very small batches to LotW, waiting a bit and then doing Sync LotW QSOs. Each time that I did this, the Aux panel appeared. These times were before the KD2KJU QSO existed. I checked these previous QSOs and they all appear correct regarding country code and rx band. I also clicked the Broke button, with a null result in the LPD.

+ The next time this behavior occurs, please place your Log file in a zip archive, attach the zip archive to an email message that describes the faulty QSO (callsign, date, time, band mode), and send the message to me via

aa6yq (at) ambersoft.com

+ so that I can see what is going on.

I finally got it going again, but Defender made it extremely difficult because its Security Center would not open after repeated tries so I could not access the Quarantined files to free them.? I DID add specific exclusions to Defender last week for all of DXLabs and for DXLabs\Commander.? It did not help today.

Your logged QSO with KD2KJU as its DXCC country code set to 248 (Italy) but its DXCC Prefix set to K. Also, its BandRX item is empty though its FreqRX specifies a 6m frequency.

The combination of two different errors in the same QSO may be the reason that a label is not flashing to highlight what's wrong; I will investigate.

Apparently there is a problem with Microsoft Defender.

+ That's correct. It's overall approach to detecting malware is defective.

Has the problem been reported to Microsoft?

+ Thousands of times (not all by me).

+ The correct approach to defending against malware is to make the operating system kernel secure, and provide each active process with a secure environment in which to execute. These techniques were well understood when I was studying operating system design back in 1971. For example:

Re: Commander -- Here we go again!!!

 

For Windows Defender two things are needed and it will work fine (until it doesn't), then you have to follow the instructions below. My copy of Defender has behaved itself by and large, but I did have to restore a file from quarantine on the 23rd of March. (SpotCollector)

1. In Defender,? make an exclusion for the entire DXLab folder...not a file, a folder.

2. Learn how to get a file out of Quarantine (restore). The steps required have been posted here many times.

Once you have excluded DXLab apps from virus checking, all the apps will run fine, if, and only if, you RESTORE any that got quarantined earlier.

Since I did that many months ago, it is fairly rare to have a DXLab file get quarantined after having excluded it in Defender, but it can happen. If it does, go into Defender's Quarantine (history) and RESTORE it.

This is going to happen to nearly all anti-virus programs, not just Defender.

HamApps' JTAlert has been having a very difficult time with the same issue. Again, create an exception or exclusion for the JTAlert directory and RESTORE any prior quarantined files and you should be good, until the next time this kind of thing shows up....and it will.

The advantage being, you now know how to fix the problem.

There are also two kinds of situations that may result in a quarantine:

1. From the the download itself. (no install yet)
??? Solution: Go to Defender quarantine and Restore the file. Then you can install it.

2. Files already installed have disappeared. Go to Defender quarantine and Restore them.

As long as you have an exclusion enabled for the program directory, there will only be a few instances where you have to go back in and restore, but these days, it's important to know how to do it. (for whatever anti-virus program you are using)

Bottom line: the anti-virus software is not getting any better in terms of false-positives. The only solution I have seen is to learn how to recognize when your A-V software has asserted itself, and how to use the anti-virus software you have to recover/restore the disappeared file.

...because until you find (and pay for) the perfect anti-virus program, you are going to see this issue crop up? again and again.
