DJI assistant v1.2.0 contains trojan according to Norton

[Ode]

I just downloaded DJI assistant v1.2.0 from DJI's site and installed. After the install Norton Antivirus (Fully updated) said it had found and removed Trojan.Gen2 from the install. It was contained in visionstarter.exe which was installed in c:\program files (x86)\dji product\dji assistant 2\assistant\

This would suggest that DJI's web site has been compromised or a Trojan was purposely placed in the software.

Disregard...add it to the Norton exclude list.

Thanks for the advice but I'll give it some time. If it is okay Norton will eventually right it. I have a bit of distrust for DJI, I've used Norton products for over 20 years.

You'll be waiting a very long time, because Norton has been "flagging" it as a Trojan for well over a year.

Yup agree with Anthony V same thing happened to me but with "F-Secure" antivirus software, just "Exclude" it, I did so six months ago with no problem....

I've had DJI assistant installed for over a year. I noticed a new version (12/29/2017) today (looking for something else) - This is the first time Norton has flagged it for a Trojan, or anything: I checked Norton's logs to be sure.

Odd that it's done it before for you , and others, but not me.

In any case I will leave it as-is for now. I did put in a support ticket to DJI. We'll see what they say.

Thanks for your advice.

As far as I'm concerned, Norton is a virus - it's been banned from my systems for over 20 years.

I bought one of his early tutorial books from Peter Norton himself - it's a real shame what's happened to the product line since he cashed out. The original Norton Utilities were stellar.

Maybe you should be using Kaspersky for you virus software, let the Russians have access to your data. Beside, I don't use Assistant 2, always update over WiFi

FYI... The head of Kaspersky is a Russian KGB high-rank officer who is supposedly retired. However, under the Russian system, officer ranks do not retire, they are considered active for life! Most NATO official agencies ban Kaspersky because of this.

Norton utilities was wicked on windows 98se, used it for years, then got win 2k and newer Norton didn't work very well, I'm sure it got worse with XP

Ended up with McAfee on XP, seemed the best to me but that fell apart on win 7

Sysamtec also ruined an awesome program partition magic

Tbh not used Norton since XP, at the moment I'm using avast but fed up with it trying to sell me more stuff so I'm in the market for a new internet security system
