Hello, folks.

I purchased P13 and installed it after uninstalling P12 Pro.

When trying to start it, I got an error saying the code could not be executed due to a dll missing.

The culprit was my antivirus, F-Secure. It quarantined the file "sqlite_x64Release.dll" because it supposedly contains malware, namely "Trojan.TR/AD.Amadey.nvgep".

I hope this can be confirmed as a false positive?

Confirmed 

Roger and thanks you. :)

Strange, I also use F-Secure but it did not generate a warning despite the definitions being up to date.  I wonder why it would react differently on different systems.

ESET also flags Poser as a trojan.

Spoke to soon, I installed Poser 13 a few days ago and have been using it but today when I tried i got a message generated by F-Secure saying that 'sqlite_x64Release.dll' had been deleted and I need to restart my machine, so now I no longer have Poser 13.

Now sorted but the way F-Secure just displayed the message that the file had been deleted and the system needed a restart was a bit of a shock.  Having allowed it in F-Secure it should be removed from the scans so I should be OK, fingers crossed.

Could be due a insecure command that you are getting an alarm, specially if the Dll is venerable or it has been replaced, note that your poser is always online now unless you add blocks  into the host file, but again this would cause the license not to renew after 7 day's and you could not access the store in your library. The more advanced Poser will be the more it will be online, also to get information's of your usage.

Might be similar to this one to get an idea of what you have

https://www.2-spyware.com/file-sqlite3-dll.html

so sqlite from Poser might access sqlite3 not sure ! Still , never underestimate an alarm. Russians already Hacked Poser13 the same day, so there must be a week spot for sure.

They are always very busy getting access to your machine, now day's even more. Specially if it happens already on the day of release!

And if you end up having such a Screen, then you sure are in trouble. So better make sure not having to much vulnerable stuff running, 

that is what your antivirus is trying to tell you

Hello Poser Community

Poser 13 was running for a good hour before win 11 crashed...

The monitor went black, the graphics card fans (RTX 2070 Super) roared like a F4 Phantom taking off...
I was totally scared...
My render image is not artistic and please.....no comments.

And look what I found.... Rufus is still there....

Hey Renderosity, I bought a new rendering program, otherwise hardly anything is new...

Sure was a funny comment ! Ok only if it happens to others. Sure a dramatic situation!  I would get a spazz. So I will wait a little until running my first Poser13 Trial, Doing it on a older machine. Let others try it out a little before I do :)

"How Dramatic"

Jokes aside.

Amadey infection is a very undesirable thing. It digs into your system disguised as a part of something legit

Amadey is a botnet that appeared around October 2018 and is being sold for about 500$ on Russian-speaking hacking forums. It periodically sends information about the system and installed AV software to its C2 server and polls to receive orders from it. Its main functionality is that it can load other payloads (called "tasks") for all or specifically targeted computers compromised by the malware.

" So really not funny getting such a thing on the Computer as you probably will not even note it " 

vopehov506, please spare a thought for those with epilepsy. That striking animation is in 'Photic Driver' country...

I'm safe, it just gives me a headache and a strong urge to 'punch out the perp', but my wife (RIP) would now be in a twitching heap on floor, or 'yogic flying' off the sofa...

Remember that infamous 1997 Japanese Pokemon animation that hospitalised many hundreds of kids ??

Yeah, right...

I sure do understand that some visual effects ( Flickering can cause epilepsy ) Not a new phenomenon. The main reason why sensitive persons ( depending on the degree ) have to avoid using Internet, Games, flickering screens and even Neon Lamps in Stores.  Actually they should place in addition to cookies also a additional Info for Epileptics to agree before entering any site, just as they do before you start a game. Even a scene  that is shot in a Disco with flickering light that you see in a Movie could kill a person :) . 

Disliking a comment should not be a reason to lift it up onto a situation that is almost killing someone, else the Internet should be closed right away as it could be dangerous in many way's .  Anyway Sorry about your Wife ... 

Would be worth a thought when making a search in google for a Gif making complaints for any flickering Gif to be removed right away LOL, resulting to be a fulltime job for a whole crew.
