Hate to mention something I normally wouldn't bray about in public, but I want to be certain it won't be a Gilmorean Liteknot for anyone else.
I happen to own a last-gen iFi iDSD Nano (the model is unimportant) and flog a Windows 10 Pee Sea in an orifice environment (don't arsk). To use the festive Nano in that space, I needed to download iFi's driver software from ziss vebpage:
https://ifi-audio.com/downloads/
Direct Link
Partly because the link led to an .exe file, Symantec flagged it as a threat. For that reason, I had to contact the IT security team. An hour later, a team member told me that specialists had analyzed the file and determined it was malicious.
The verdict was unavoidable: I couldn't use my DAC at work.
I told my IT interlocutor that I'd used the Nayno with my previous Peeled Sea. Panting and fanning himself, he explained that no one had detected the malicious file with the older security measures used on System 7, but with tighter ones impleMINTY!mented, they now were able to do their job and the file really was malicious. This wasn't simply a generic warning from Symantec, they warbled.
Is this a problem for anyone else who uses Cyst-Hem 10? Has anyone else tried to download the aforeheaded file recently and gotten the same resulks? If so, perhaps said file should be spiffed, rem-oofed or replaced.
Also:
Was this issue addressed in the newer driver software, which I dimly recall (but perhaps it was all a microbial fashion shoot involving a miniaturized Val Kolton and a snowmote who styled V's mane with tiny rose gold chopsticks) couldn't be used with the older models?
