Virus warning

Steve, I have tried downloading the new G3X Touch Software V8.30. I get a windows warning that the download contains a virus, I expect the Garmin download is from a reputable source and I instruct the PC to run it anyway, and then I get my Trend virus software refusing to download the upgrade, again citing a Virus warning and a refusal to download the software.


What do I do now?

Hello Alan,

I just downloaded the software, installed it on an SD card, and scanned the download and everything else with two types of anti-virus software and didn't find any problems.

Thanks,
Steve

I experienced the same problem. **UPDATE** I was able to bypass this warning screen and proceed with the installation. I've never had this come up with any other software updates.

Sucessful installation

Steve,

Trusting you and your company I took a leap of faith and disconnect my virus protection and downloaded the upgrade. Successfully uploaded the software to both my G3X touches.

Not sure what happened this time, I've never had a Garmin product bring up a virus alert in the past. Might be worth searching a bit more your end to see what compilation in the programming scares the heck out of the firewall protection at Windows and Trend.

I also got a windows defender warning about the unknown nature of this file. First time this has ever happened. I scanned it with other software and it had no problem with it.

Ran it anyway and will be updating screens shortly.

Sometimes AV software can detect false positives since they mostly look for virus fingerprints and occasionally the hash values of legitimate software is too close or can make a match to known problem software....

I also got this warning today - clicked on more info and then on run anyway - then installed it on my G3X Touch with no immediate issues.
Thanks,Mike
