Just tried to update to latest Loader software so I can try out LTS. My security software has quarantined SimSigRefresher.exe, cites it as being a suspicious file and could be harmful to my computer. Never had this problem before.

Bear in mind that some virus scanners are over zealous and report a new exe it hasn't seen before as "suspicious" rather than "it looks like it has something suspicious in it". Personally I don't trust virus scanners that report false alarms in that way: cry wolf anybody?

If you're running Norton, it happens quite often. Just exclude the file from searches and also exclude the Simsig folder in your My Documents folder and under program files to avoid future false positives.

And for record, the update seems to be stable just in case you were worried it was a true hit - I updated and had Norton running the day after the patched version came out.
