I installed latest version (1.2.3) that was released on March 23d, of DJI Assistant 2 on my PC.  Installation completed OK,  but Norton Antivirus immediately reported high risk virus in file "TOFStarter.exe", and removed the file, see details below.
Removal of TOFStarter does not stop DJI Assistant from starting up.  Does anyone know what this program does and why DJI can't find a version of it that doesn't set off all the virus alarms?

I think this is more a Norton problem than DJI or Tofstarter.
I checked the file with Malwarebytes and Windows Defender. No issue.

Do you have Windows 10? You might want to get rid then of any exterior antivirus program.
At least it says everywhere in the net that with Windows 10 it is useless or even harmful rather than it helps.
But what do I know... ;-)

I aggre this is not the first time "Norton" report "fake alarm"
Report to Norton instead of here........

It's almost always a false positive with Norton.

Probably the instructions of Assistant 2 is close to virus instructions, but it's not a virus, fake alarm yes.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It looks like the false positive, but we still need the below info for further investigation:
1. What's the OS version of your PC? How many digits?
2. What's the version of the Norton Antivirus?
3. The screenshot of error message.
Thanks in advance!

Received with thanks! I've reported to our engineers for review.
Also, it seems that the hyperlink does not work well as it directs to the forum homepage directly...

Update: I just got an update from our engineers that this issue will not affect the normal usage for now, and our engineers will optimize it in the next version. Thanks so much for your feedback.

This really can be read in different ways, i read:

The Engineers didn't manage to make a virus that could do any harm but are hardly working to improve it.

Hopefully i just can't read properly ...
