Taozen - DAZ Account Manager Files being deleted as malware

I hate to nag about free software, especially a great program like this, but I've now had to reinstall the same-named file so many times now on a monthly basis as the expiration date keeps getting extended one month at a time, that something in one of my two computers is now apparently identifying the account manager as malware and deleting it as soon as it downloads.  It's still working on my second computer, which uses a different virus/malware checker, but I'm really worried that it's just a matter of time before that one stops loading as well.

    I stopped using stuff that does that like the denoiser

    if people want to limit the time you can use something I would rather pay for something without such limitations.

    sadly that is too specific to get an alternative

    The current version is being detected as malware by a number of virus scanners because a new virus has a signature that resembles some of the code in the app.  There's not much I can do about it, some of those virus scanners are making life hard for developers by all their false positives.  If they let a virus slip through it hurts their business, so they'll rather flag one to many than one to little.  Don't forget that the cause of all these problems is those who are making viruses, and not us who are writing the apps.

    It's only the alpha and beta versions of my apps that are time limited, basically because I don't wan't to have unfinished and bugged versions floating around on the net causing confusion.  Plus as a reminder for people to get the latest version.  The current and future versions of the denoiser DnD have no time limits, and it will remain free. You can download it here:

    BTW, you can send the file to the AV company and have them clear it, so it isn't being deleted anymore, some AV program have that feature built in.  Otherwise I have another solution, just PM me.
