It's fine. Antivirus programs have a long-standing on again, off again hatred of AutoIt, which RainRGB is written in. This is because AutoIt is used by kiddies writing "bots" for online games and the like, and from time to time anything written in it ends up getting flagged. You can just "exclude" it.rbriddickk84 wrote:Hi everyone!
I installed RainRGB a long time ago, and i use BitDefender.
Today i tried to use RainRGB4 and it was indicated as Potentially Malicious Software.
So i came here to download again, i thought it's got infected somehow.
But sadly after download and extraction, it detected again.
Somehow i don't want to believe my antivirus program...
Please, can anyone confirm this?
Thank you very much!

I suspected something like this was going on here! ^^

Re: RainRGB 4.0
Well sadly, no matter how i exclude the exe and both the folder, the RainRGB.exe is not running. It seems to starting, but shuts down immediately i suppose, since i never see the actual window appearing. Just the hourglass.
So something really went wrong at the first detection and disinfection process. Or i don't know.

Re: RainRGB 4.0
It's more likely you are calling it incorrectly in your skin. If you don't pass it the parameters it is expecting, it just silently exits.rbriddickk84 wrote:Well sadly, no matter how i exclude the exe and both the folder, the RainRGB.exe is not running.

Well bummer. Maybe you have to go remove something from "quarantine" in your Antivirus or some such.rbriddickk84 wrote:No, it's not working. It's not even showing in the Processes.

Re: RainRGB 4.0
Digging up this 8 year old post that was last posted to about a year ago to tell you guys that there's a way to update the colors without having to refresh the skin.
I am using the runcommand version of RainRGB4 to set & write to the color variable and update the appropiate measures & meters.
You guys might not be aware, so i want to bring it to your attention here. Sharing is caring ;P

So sorry for being lost for so long, but at my workplace went some things worse, so i lost that very few freetime that i had half a year ago.
But for this RainRGB skin you did is now working for me, well, since the problem stated i changed pc, sadly had to upgrade to win10, and don't use antivirus, only the built-in in windows. But yeah, it's a nice work, short coded and effective!
Thanks for the work and sharing!
