Quote - > Quote - And once again I will ask the question everyone seems to be avoiding answering, if you downloaded content from a site besides DAZ and it sets off your antiV would you pause/turn off your antiV to install it?

No, but you are talking about a trusted supplier of content of many years here, not an unknown flyby-night operation.

The first time it happened to me with a DAZ installer, I did pause, then I went looking for answers, and when it was clear to me it was a false positive from my current anti-virus at that time (this was around 2007) I ignored it as such and installed my content. I was new to DAZ 3D at that time. I know you have been around a long time, I believe longer than I have to know DAZ 3D not to be a "flea infested" operation.

The difference between you and I is that you think your anti-virus is infallible and your thought process here is flawed.

So there, I did answer the question "everyone" was avoiding. :)

I agree, they are a supplier of content.  Trusted... eh... not so much.  They are a business who is paranoid about protecing their copyright and will do anything they deem necessary to do so.  Even if that means invading your privacy.  But hey, if you don't mind an installer grabbing your personal information and reporting it to whomever without your knowledge then more power to you.  Blindly trusting any company, no matter how long they've been in business, is naive.  Use your common sense and always trust your gut.

Thought process is flawed?  I disagree.  What's the point of using antiV if you're not going to take it seriously.  I'm not familiar with the program manleystanley is using, but it picks up on something the DAZ installer is doing while installing "content." Perhaps it's extracting personal information and submitting to a third party company that reports to DAZ.  I believe manleystanley is taking the warning seriously and if one is not going to take it seriously, to some degree, then what's the point of using it.  Might as well not use anything at all.

With regard to the question... If I downloaded content from a site besides DAZ and it was an installer that set my antiV off, I would not pause my antiV to install it.  Rather I would contact the company to find out more info including an alternate source of installation, like a zip.
