Robbie Doo Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 When trying to install the available SP2 update, the virus protection comes up. Why would it be recognized as a virus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bimicher Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Because your virus protection program may be over-active and sees the update as a false positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 sknis Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Frank, you may have a problem; you already have SP2 but your screenshot indicates it is not up to date. SP2 is the latest update. I ran Defender and Kapersky and neither saw a problem.  The update is from the Corel/Roxio program itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran Defender and Kapersky and neither saw a problem.  The update is from the Corel/Roxio program itself. That's odd Steve. When I go to updates (while on the forum) there is no updates shown for NXT (any version). I did open the program (NXT6 Pro) and went to the "help" option and it states that there is no update for it ? Certainly can't understand why when I run a scan with Windows Defender it shows the two viruses that I posted and quarantined (sp?) them. I also called Corel and talked one of there techs and they are looking into the problem with the info I sent them but I haven't heard back yet. The program is running all OK it's just when you try and do the SP2 update it gives you that virus error ?? Question--How do you tell if your NXT6 Pro already has the SP2 update ?

0 bimicher Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 A google search seems to indicate that this so-called virus is only detected by Microsoft Defender. Microsoft states that it is related to the Cloud based Defender and is probably a false positive. It seems to prevent that installation of other programs as well not only Roxio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Brendon Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 I don't think you have SP2 installed, Frank, although you have downloaded a couple of copies of creatornxt6sp2.exe, according to your screenshot. I have the same numbers in "About this software" as you have. Since I can't persuade the Roxio software manager that I need a copy of SP2, would you kindly locate one of those copies (you might have to get it out of quarantine) and upload it to something like Google Drive, then privately send me a link so I can download it and poke a stick at it please? Can't just email the file because it's an .exe file. Thanks, Brendon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should just delete the NXT6 Pro I have on this particular computer and then reinstall a new clean install. If I do that then how will I know if the SP2 is updated or not ? Do a "check for updates from within the program" ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Brendon Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Given that Corel impose this unfortunate limit on installs, I wouldn't suggest deleting the copy of NXT 6 you have managed to install on that computer. Since their FLEXNet Connect Agent (Roxio Software Manager) is steadfastly denying to many of us that any SP2 update exists, it can't be all that important, can it? I know I have never seen SP2, and yet they're quite firm in telling me "NO". I wonder what it's supposed to fix !!??!  I got this response seconds ago . . . Seeing all that, I'd just wait until they get their updates sorted out. - Since I can't get hold of a copy to poke a stick at, I actually have no choice but to wait. As to your other question, if you did a clean install you'd be back to the start again, without Service Packs. You would need to reinstall SP1 (the LabelCreators) again, and then see if you were offered SP2. Then you'd be back exactly where you are at the moment.  If anyone has a copy of the SP2 executable, would you please upload it to Google Drive and send me a link?   Thanks very much.

0 REDWAGON Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I did a complete uninstall of NXT6 Pro using the Pro version of Revo-uninstaller with all the scans and deletions. Then I re-installed NXT6 Pro (then one we got from Mark. Tried to see if there was an update and still get the same "no updates available" This program needs some serious attention impo.

0 sknis Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Frank,  I'm pretty sure that I installed the SP2 update with no virus warning.  Looking at the version, mine is the same as yours shown except I have an "H" were you have an "A". Sorry, I can't find the SP2 download file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Steve---a couple of posts ago I told I did a complete re-install. And you are correct--When it starts to install it says to check for updates but it never does anything after you do the check. And I'll have to agree with you on not worrying about it as the programs all seem to work OK. and btw I did another "complete" virus check using Windows Defender and it found nothing. I'm not sure what the "H" and "A" in the version means but you could be right. I have another computer in my shop running W10 Pro and it also has NXT6 Pro installed. I'll check to see what the version shows on that computer and see if it's the same or different.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Robbie Doo Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 From all the conversations I gather that it's OK to install the update, right? I can shut down the virus program temporarily and let the update go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Brendon Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Yes, go for it Robbie. I'd be very happy if you could save a copy of it so we can examine its insides!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Robbie Doo Posted March 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 I'm sorry Brendon, the update isn't available anymore. I'm assuming they took it down, because i didn't update anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the last character in the first set of number in the build number (as Frank posted above). Is it "A" or "H"?  I think "H" is the latest build but since no one knows what it does, it is probably not important.

You are correct Steve. I opened up NXT6 Pro and this time it showed me the screen for the SP2 Update. I ran it and it completed the "Patch" and changed the program from the "A" to an "H". However I did try and chase down everywhere on my computer to find the Patch for the SP2 update and couldn't find it anywhere !!!

0 Brendon Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 This morning, for some unexplained reason, the update finally became available to my machine. Perhaps it took a long time for the updates canoe to reach me? - who knows! The file landed in the Downloads directory as usual. Latest versions of the major virus scanners found Nothing! It's safe, Robbie. The update did a bunch of tiny tweaks, mainly to Photosuite from what I could see. I couldn't find a log afterwards, but my build did shift to 55H as expected.  So thar y'are.
