Interesting my AV is not going ballistic but am using Avast..
got a warning too on installing the the last update for dim too not having a trusted signiture license
Some AVs are very paranoic, and Norton is one of those. Throws it's hands up in the air and screams help if anything is new and it doesn't recognise it. I think if some of these AVs had their way we would still be chipping out images on cave walls.
not just avs windows 10 too just updated my license for my av previous one yeah it paniced over a few things some outright refused stuff few times daz got warnings facebook too of course that's understandable still better paranoid and safe anyway with w10 that's denied a few things it actually in one update removed my av and replaced it with its own and it had a go at my paintshop pro and daz which is funny cause at the time micro were promoting their latest creation programs
Which is actually even more permanent than cloud storage but is limited by storage capacities.
I use Malwarebytes and Bitdefender and neither is showing anything wrong atm.

Maybe it is ScriptMoney or some sort of other type browser ad-on, if you have such installed, that intercepts and modifies DAZ and other web site pages?
Kaspersky is not objecting. Neither is firefox who seem to be particular about signatures
Sometimes, you need to reinstall them (the signatures) via the security software you use.
don't have any scripts or anything else installed but as you can see still able to acces here just ignored it shut the page then revisited it's probably cause of the type of website daz is as well as how we or a lot of us have links to our pages listed in our sigs and I guess daz heads have to submit register themselves to the various avs and micro just like with google now sites do to get that registered safe site/seller thing
Well, I used to visit a site called my myfitnesspal.com in a web browser but stopped because they or their ad provider occasionally injected ads from scam websites.I've noticed that same site with their iPhone app as lately taken to cause the Apple App Store to be opened up to some app while I have the MyFitnessPal app open in an effort to make it look like I am using their advertising but of course all that does is make vanishingly small click through rates even smaller.
...but I have never had a problem from DAZ except their ads are the ones that are most persistently placed when visit websites with banner ads. I never click though them though because they never announce new products but the same few products over and over...
It's a new feature in Norton... It's for your protection, to keep you from spending too much money on content... It's a bit fussy, but if Norton feels you might be spending your rent money or selling your organs, it blocks DAZ... I'm sure if you have your doctor shoot Norton an email confirming that you still have most of your important organs left, they'll unblock DAZ.
Like it says.. "For your protection".
...interesting, I have both Symantec as well as Sophos and never had the Daz site or any product pages flagged.
Don't have W10 though.
...my doctor has me on a total Zero Content diet right now.
Hmm... That sounds like you might be down to one kidney and half a liver...
...yep. at least feels like it. Tried to trade the spleen to get Urban Sprawl 3 but they aren't worth much these days. Seems they were more valuable in Shakespeare's time.
someone wrote on another thread something about some fake daz ads on some sites mostly advertising ancient content. could be because a lot of us have links to our personal other pages or links to other sites and saw that and probably just glitched had few pages open at time and that one for awhile. facebook is a bugger for ads all over the place sometimes stalls a page loading and if you play any of their games, been getting a lot of fake friend requests all listed from women in devonport tasmania where I live but all fake cause they all have links to either a dating site or sex sites
well I am trying or have to lose weight as per doctor's orders and the amount I've been gourging on here last few months I've put on a fair bit :) last I checked months ago I was sitting just over 100gb but again the amount I've been gourging on I'm scared to see how much more I've put on probably tripple my laptop is bursting and my expensive computer with my 2x1080's came home today after having a belly ache from the motherboard exploding and frying the cpu so it's going to have a huge feast to download gourge on installing all this new stuff bought over 2-3 months and it's a lot
Sorry to say this again:
Not the security software is paranoic, but the DAZ devs use some software mechanisms which are very similar to trojan viruses and include their signatures.
I only (again) can request the dev team to stop using these.
OK, I know - if you have got nice tricky working codes, you really love to use them. I know ...
But it is dangarous cause it can open the door.
Well FB trending news and all their silliness is why I refuse to use FB except on my very small iPhone SE screen in the FB app. And I don't read any news, or other websites that are considered traditional media companies anymore. They ain't worth the hassle and the content of those sites basically is mostly not believable. LOL, I had some fake FB account with some pretty picture of some girl (likely picture used without permission) that was apparently using some sort of FB search engine to track my comments in FB that were public and 'like' them so I go to this account and they had over 50K likes, but likely all fake too. Of course I ignored that account but I didn't see a reasonable way to 'block an obviously fake FB account from obviously searching out my public comments and falsely liking my comments on FB'.
So basically just DAZ, Poser, Blender, Unity and similar sights is all I visit.The myFitnessPal pop-up ads thing is something they know and actively try to foist on their users as I told them last year I would refuse to use their site in a browser for that practice and now a year later it's on the iPhone app. I still have their Android app to take refugee in though.
I'm certain that at least one business has sold my name and email address to spammers but I will change my phone number later. They don't even bother waiting for an answer as they must be some 'business venture' funded by government money otherwise it would make no economic sense to waste time on such idiocy and they'd be out working a real job. The email spam the 3 levels of filters via forwarding and exclusive include lists handles that fine.
I'm glad I don't get angry at such stupidness as they are persistent.
I have Norton and it hasn't hollered about anything from Daz Win 10 on the other hand has uninstalled several programs when it installed updates Daz Studio being one of them has been removed twice along with Carrara, Silo, and Gimp
yea w10 does hijack stuff sometimes. a lot of sites track you now and google you go on ebay, youtube or whatever and you'll see things related to what you look at advertised promted on deviant art, facebook and such we don't see it here but I doubt those that don't use daz see daz adds on deviant and other sites as much I don't fully mind seeing advertising that is related to what I like and might be interested in but still at the same time it is kinda worrying and opens up other doors as well as causing things like hijacking your stuff and crashes I think that warning may have been a glitch clashing with something else paranoia can be a good thing but sometimes it can get stupid and go overboard. Now studio has conect added yeah that could cause some flags to go up at times with avs and w10 not liking it
....yet accroding to the W10 fans on one of the tech sites I frequent, that never happens.
Riiiiight....
yeah right ;) and they probably haven't nothing installed but except for stuff created owned by the micro lot
wonder how long before they buy out or release their own version of some 3d creation program
All the ad nonsense, tracking and all the other assorted hot cyberturd flambé flimflam scammy scam BS that assails us at every turn is, I fear just going to get worse exponentially and very soon... At least here in this patch of soil on which I reside. Changes are being pushed for that are gonna make it easier for Telecoms, ISPs and advertisers to "better serve" me in ways that I don't see as serving me but are supposed to be good for me in bigly ways... With that, these big changes, great changes, the kinda changes you're gonna stop and say to yourself- wow that change was so great I'm amazed at how amazing it is, changes... When those changes like no other changes before, because all other changes before stunk, just stunk... Those changes... The great changes... I'm wondering how all that will effect stuff on this end. Should be interesting... I bought a big fireproof handbasket and lots of popcorn for the ride... Should be interesting.
LOL, Windows 10 is not uninstalling DAZ Studio on it's own.
On related topic, my Amazon.com and Amazon.de browsing winds up being ad suggestions for what I've browsed and similar products on my FB iPhone app. I don't get ads from DAZ on that FB ad that I can remember.
