    Hi!

    I reinstalled my computer and have now also installed simtools.
    When I scan SimToolsv2_Installer.zip at https://www.virustotal.com/
    I get 12 security vendors and no sandboxes flagged this file as malicious.. doesn't feel good at all..

    I downloaded from https://www.xsimulator.net/ the latest version

    Is this false positives ???

    Yes it is a false positive, if you check the SimTools download page the following is advised: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/motion-simulation-software-simtools.63/

    Antivirus - false positive warning:
    Game Manager has the ability to scan a game's memory space so we can get the telemetry from games that don't supply any.
    Therefore you may get a false positive with some anti-viruses.
    To fix this problem, just add it to the exceptions list for your antivirus.
