Parkflyer Simulator Virus
 
For Christmas I got a plane from Parkflyers RC, parkflyers.com.
It included a flight simulator that I believe is FMS.
When I put it in my computer my virus software, AVG, went nuts.
About six of the programs, including the exe, contained a virus.

BE CAUTIOUS !!!

Good Luck,

Did your virus software identify the viruses? They usually have names or identities.

Also, you might use the email address for those people to let them know what their software does on their customers' computers. (On the other hand, you may wish that they not know your email address.)

If you download FMS from the website does your AV go nuts too? It's a free download (forget the site, but google will help).

I have not told them of the problem, yet.
Yes, it did identify the virus, I forget what it is.

I have downloaded, installed and used FMS with no problems.

Same story here. I did not install though. With all of the broken English in the manuals I'm a little worried about some Chinese hacker hacking my accounts, etc. Call me paranoid.
