red LED no longer lights
I have updated the firmware on my nanoVNA-H4 hardware build 4.3 using the NanoVNA-H.v1.2.40.bin file and STM32cube software, and notice that
the red battery LED no longer lights when charging or unit is turned on. Same effect after I upgraded my TinySA Ultra....no longer red LED function. Is that normal? |

Quite right, however backdoors are not the usual attack vector for viruses and malware. The attack is tricking users into executing something they shouldn't.

History is interesting, you can learn a lot from it. I heard that one of the first times the term ‘bug’ was used involved a moth that got into a relay, keeping it from operating.

Re: McAFee Virus Scanner Objects to nanoSaver download from GitHub
As I understand it, back doors were (and presumably, still are) created by
programmers as a convenience. They use them because it's quicker for getting into a system than going through the login procedure and all the other entries necessary for gaining access to the code when they want to fix bugs, make modifications, etc. As I said, they're just a convenience but they have to be kept secret so hackers can't use them to gain access (as they undoubtedly have at times). Back in the late 1980s I heard about a prankster who, when designing a large company's software, added some code that at random times would freeze all of the company's terminals and display the following message: *Hello. Can I have a cookie?* Their entire system remained locked with this message on all of their screens until, after what must've been a lot of trial and error, someone discovered you could unlock the computers by entering "*Here. Have a cookie*." After that, the system would return to normal until the next time. As the story goes, the code was so deeply embedded in their software that it was cheaper to just instruct all of their employees on the proper response than to dig through millions of lines of code to fix it. Might be apocryphal but it's amusing. 73, Mac AB3RV On Mon, Mar 24, 2025 at 1:50?AM Gary H Thompson via groups.io <garythomjw= [email protected]> wrote: If you read it again, you will see that I said what a back door is, I |

If you read it again, you will see that I said what a back door is, I didn’t say it was a virus, it was how a virus was put in computers. Didn’t mean to start an argument.

Re: McAFee Virus Scanner Objects to nanoSaver download from GitHub
A backdoor is not a virus. Viruses and malware are created by programmers with malicious intent in order to spread mayhem or for financial gain. A lot of it is offshore these days. It may be fun to poke at the AV vendors but this stuff is real.

I'm gonna play Devil's Advocate here and suggest that all supposed virii
are manufactured by the antivirii companies to induce the fear of a viral attack on your computer in order to sell you their ready-made solution for the virii in question. This includes Microsoft products, as well. Time to use a little common sense here, folks. I am slowly making the transition to Linux OS's. Currently using Linux Mint Cinnamon, Debian 12.9.0 with the Mate Desktop and Kali Linux. No viruses detected by Clam AV.

My grandson cleared the "McAfee" pop-ups on my computer today.
He is a computer services professional. He did what was stated above, clearing cookies and related stuff from the Chrome browser and the problem went away. He said that he has to do this a couple of times a week for some of his clients.

It’s probably not McAfee, it’s a virus that try's to get you to go to their site, thinking you are going to McAfee. The message is the virus.
Clear your browser cookies and browser history and reboot. If that 诲辞别蝉苍’迟 work, use Google to find other things to try. If you clicked on the popup and went to their site, anything you entered is now compromised. Call your bank and credit card and let them know what happened. |

Re: McAFee Virus Scanner Objects to nanoSaver download from GitHub
For me, MacAfee *is* the invasive virus. I must take careful steps to
ignore and remove their notices! I will only use Win10. Win11 has suggested I buy new software when what I have ain't broke. Will use Linux exclusively if /when Win10 no longer runs. 73, Chuck K4TZO On Sun, Mar 23, 2025 at 11:06?AM Steve Withnell via groups.io <steve.withnell@...> wrote: I've tried downloading nanoSaver to Win11Pro and McAfee snatches the .exe -- Chuck Cole ?K4TZO |

Disregard all of above. Found this..
panda@vika:~$ history 1 sudo apt update 2 sudo apt install python3-pip 3 pip3 install 4 echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/home/panda/.local/bin' >> ~/.bashrc 5 source ~/.bashrc 6 NanoVNASaver Change "panda" to your home -- such as .home/panda/ for me became /home/whp/ The rest works and, once installed, entering "NanaoVNASaver" does the trick. It comes up with "/dev/ttyACM1 (H4)" in port (in my case). Much simpler. -- William, k6whp -------------------- "Cheer up, things could get worse. So I cheered up and things got worse." |

Re: McAFee Virus Scanner Objects to nanoSaver download from GitHub
Something in the newer versions of Saver is falsely triggering McAfee virus signatures. I tell the quarantine to restore the file, then put it on the list to ignore while scanning.
Some other virus scanners also have problems with it, but some do not. Stan |

Re: McAFee Virus Scanner Objects to nanoSaver download from GitHub
Even without MacAfee, my laptop running Windows 11 will always say that any
Ham software I try to install is untrustworthy. I thought it may be because ham software authors are unable to get the software certified due to low potential usage compared to other general use software. Same problem occurs when I try to visit the older and quite popular ham websites as well. All are blocked by my antivirus, mostly because they are http rather than https. 73 Jon, VU2JO On Sun, Mar 23, 2025 at 8:36?PM Steve Withnell via groups.io <steve.withnell@...> wrote: I've tried downloading nanoSaver to Win11Pro and McAfee snatches the .exe |
