Q. The NaviPac installation includes software packages that are identified as virus threats by the Windows Defender Antivirus tool. What can I do?




A. The NaviPac 4.2.2 installer includes some executables that are identified as virus threats by the Windows Defender Antivirus tool. They should be allowed. See also this EIVA FAQ https://eiva.freshdesk.com/a/solutions/articles/43000521543.


There are two options on how to proceed:

    - Option 1: Add a user-defined exception list of folders and/or drives.

    - Option 2: Allow and restore files individually.




Option 1:  Add a user-defined exception list of folders and/or drives. 

    In other words white list the C:\EIVA folder (or the file itself) in the antivirus program.


    Add an exclusion to Windows Security

  • Go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection.
  • Under Virus & threat protection settings, select Manage settings, and then under Exclusions, select Add or remove exclusions.
  • Select Add an exclusion, and then select from folders.




Option 2: Allow and restore files individually.

  • Find the Virus scanner's Virus & threat protection and open the Protection history.

  • Three threats are found that relate to the NaviPac installation:
    • Trojan:Win32/Casdet!rfn         (C:\EIVA\NaviPac\Bin\SceneServer\SceneServer.exe)
    • Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.C!ml    (C:\EIVA\NaviPac\Util\TCPUDP.exe)
    • Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.D!ml    (C:\EIVA\NaviPac\Bin\EIVAEPSG.exe)

  • Use the option See details for more information.

  • Finally check that the files were restored.
    Browse to the folder C:\EIVA\NaviPac\Bin\SceneServer and check that the SceneServer.exe is restored.
    Do the same for C:\EIVA\NaviPac\Util\TCPUDP.exe
    Do the same for C:\EIVA\NaviPac\Bin\EIVAEPSG.exe
