DJI Assistant 2 File Infected: tofstarter.exe ?

AForceone · Mar 28, 2018

Anyone install the DJI Assistant 2+1.2.3 that was recently released 3/23/18 ? Just installed it and Norton Blocked tofstarter.exe as Trojan. Submitted it to Virus Total and it came back with 4 security Vendors (including Norton) giving it bad rep. Is see in the past there were a false positive for a different file but this one seems to be something new ?

I have never used a virus program in my life. I’ve been online since 89. Of course I use Mac and Linux. But regarding assistant...I did all the little exercise things trying to calibrate but it always hung up at the very end. So I didn’t have much luck with it. On the virus thing use your router to limit “visitors” and I don’t think it would hurt to turn it off while u run assistant then turn it back on after. Also your firewall allows u to “let in” certain programs and block others. I think Norton and others slow you down a lot. But I guess you can’t put a price on peace of mind.
