Kaspersky detects KeyLogger within MP

Can someone help me understand why Kaspersky anti-virus identified and deleted a DLL within a recent Mission Planner update that is defined as a KeyLogger. I had to disable Kaspersky for the update to download; I was getting an update failed due to virus protection error; but my night time virus scan found this DLL with the Mission Planner directory and deleted it. Why is it there? Does it matter that it was deleted?Cheers!Pem

              @Scott,

              The latest version of Windows Defender is pretty robust according to recent reviews and is updated every night on my PC.

              I found Norton to be one of the most obnoxious pieces of antivirus crap that I have ever used. Norton even blocked downloads from its own website when I used to use it in the distant past.

              Regards,

    what file did it delete?

    there is no key logger inside mp, apart from shortcut keys.

    • How will the deletion of the "BaseClassesNET.dll" file from the "C:/Program Files (x86)/Mission Planner/" sub-directory effect the performance of Mission Planner?

    • As I said, I had to disable Kaspersky to get the update; with Kaspersky off, Mission Planner updated and ran fine.  But during the night when Kaspersky performs a virus scan, it identified and deleted this file:  BaseClassesNET.dll.  According to Kaspersky, within this file is:  Trojan-Spy.MSIL.KeyLogger.bzam.
