I have tried to install a new version om the flight simulator (2.2.0.0). It is not possible to install it because DJI_FS.exe contains a virus! I have made no backup of the older version. Will DJI look into it?

Hi there, the anti-virus software is reporting false positives, you can install DJI Flight Simulator with peace of mind as long as it is downloaded in our official website.

Hi everyone.  I am having the same problem.  I upgraded to the latest version and now something is telling me that the DJI_FS.exe file contains a virus.  I have Windows defender and Malware Bytes.  I have turned them both off (I Think ) but still get the same message (see screenshot) and I don't know where its coming from.  So although I trust DJI software, I don;t know what to switch off to let it install.   

I had the previous version (took ages to sort the firewall issues) which is amazing software.  Any help to sort this would be appreciated.     [img]https://forum11.djicdn.com/data/attachment/forum/ [/img]

Weirdly when this error is on screen windows wont do a screenshot ? ? , so this image is photo off screen....

Hi FredAstra, may I know what's the OS of your PC? You may uninstall the software and download the latest version from DJI website to see whether it helps.

Hi Stephen

Thanks for the reply.  I have Windows 10 Professional.  I have uninstalled and re-installed it several times directly from your website and once via a link from an admin here.

I have noticed that if file manager is open on screen during installation at c:\program files (x86)/DJI Flight Simulator.   I see the file DJI_FS.exe appears and then seconds later disappears :-(    I have  seen this with Defender and Malware bytes both disabled ?

I'm having the same issue.  Definitely downloaded it from the official DJI product page.  Here's what McAfee indicated:   I know that it is not unheard of for some applications to trip a false positive on A/V software, but it is certainly not commonplace and this is CLEARLY a problem the DJI needs to resolve.

The same here, in France. I've downloaded DJI flight simulator but Kapersky AV warned me that there's a dangerous virus inside it. I've read all your comments and I'm very upset !! Why DJI doesn't find what's wrong ? It's really weird. I was very interested by this simulator and I'd bought a new PC for use it. I can't do now nothing but wait until this issue will be resolved....Grrrrrn

Add Google/Chrome to the list.



How many more major anti-virus software applications is it going to take? You guys need to take this seriously, this post is over 2 months old.

Nope, same thing, Chrome won't even download it.

I have to say, this isn't reassuring. DJI is already being called out by the US Department of Homeland Security

Guys, may I join your discussion? By the way, I can confidently say that cannabis is the best product for relaxing, so I also started using it myself. Accordingly, I also advise you to try to consume CBD from this source https://westcoastsupply.cc where there is all the information about the type of this product. Therefore, you can also look at this if you have a desire to find a good treatment for yourself.

Hello, can I participate in your conversation? Also, based on my personal experience, I believe that cannabis is an excellent product for relaxation. As a result, I have started using it myself and would recommend trying CBD products from an online site, that provides detailed information about the various types available. If you are interested in finding an effective treatment for yourself, you may want to consider exploring this option.
