    Default anti virus alarm

    with every new update installation i get this message when i scan my computer with ad aware and have to delete these files.
    Is it a necessary HEM file? my virus program pops up with the same message about 10times..so seems that this file is about ten times in the same folder or whatever where it is.



    (C:\documents and settings\.....)

    Ad aware? I think thats not a virus scanner.

    You should delete the folder where you get this warnings (it seems to be sth. temporary from your screenshot). Then download and install the update again.

    Hmimport.exe is a program needed for holdemmanager to work properly.

    But this HMimport.exe is not located in the HM folder it seems to be in my windows folder... that is weird therefore im asking wether this file is really used by HEM or why is it flagged by the anti virus software?

    We only use hmimport.exe from the Holdemmanager folder.
    I think you can delete the other one.

    Yes, this is an old version from before 1.09 when we used a product named Xenocode which virtualizes the programs and keeps stubs in that folder you saw. This was the way we had been doing it for about 2 years but then many of the anti virus programs started flagging them as potential viruses (incorrectly) so we stopped using xenocode and switched to a different program. All of the files in that folder are left over from the previous version and can be deleted
