    It's a false positive.
    SimTools has the ability to hook into games in order to get the telemetry data it needs.
    Apparently, Kaspersky thinks its doing something bad (although it is not).

    But you can see how, if one program has the ability to scan the memory space of another program and collect data, it could be considered dangerous.
    However, we truly are not doing anything bad, just playing a bit harder than most. :grin

    @Schopfer,
    It also looks like 2.0 is installed without uninstalling v1.3?
    I would uninstall SimTools (saying yes to "remove old files..." popup), and then re-install SimTools 2.0.

    Thank you for suggestion. I'm forgot to remove Simtools 1.3
    I'll try it.
    Sorry my English is not good.

    Hi,

    I am using Kaspersky for several years, but lately it does not stop from deleting Game Dash. I tried adding exceptions for the Game Dash folder as well as Game Dash exe, but without any success.

    I followed the steps on the following page and enabled all "exclusion" check boxes:
    https://support.kaspersky.com/13971#block2

    Does anyone have any hint for me?

    Thanks,
    Markus
