Hi.

I opened up my sierra charts and noticed a few of my custom indicators did not load and my antivirus software (Bitdefender) said there was a possible virus threat on one of the files. I tried updating to the current version but had the same virus warning come up. I have had these custom indicators for atleast 3 months and have not had any issues and have been using sierra charts for atleast 3 years without issues. I then ran a full system scan and found no virus etc.

The message I receive is below:

The file C:\SierraChart\DownloadedInstallationFiles\SierraChartStudies_64.dll is infected with Gen:Variant.Mikey.118436 and was moved to quarantine. It is recommended that you run a System Scan to make sure your system is clean.


I do have the option to unquarantine this file and then possibly update to the latest version and see my custom indicators. I'm just wandering is this safe to do?

Thanks
