Sage 100

Hearing from Sage that a new windows update to windows defender is making the application remove legacy (non-Business Framework) files thinking they are threats. I have not validated this yet but that is the word from Sage. Thought I would share if anyone is seeing issues related to legacy module.

I've had a client loose a couple of data entry files in work order (WOK and WO_13) can't say for sure it is related, but thanks for the heads up Todd. if it keeps happening I'll have a place to start looking.

@ToddMartin - yes, we have been...see this thread https://90minds-com.socialcast.com/messages/37711937

We have seen it with PR files and on Sage advanced with the sota.ini file on users C drives. . Whoever is in charge of the management of the antivirus MUST make exclusions. We do NOT recommend anyone using Sage to use Windows Defender and we have IT create a policy to disable it in favor of other solutions like Trend Micro or Webroot with appropriate exclusions made.

Thanks Beth for pointing to the thread. Looks like it got a few of us in it. Sage has been going crazy with it all day today from what I have been told.

A couple of our customers received error 12 during payroll. Found this KB article referencing the Windows Update

I had a client today lose some PR files PR8, PRI and others.... Manually reinitialized and fixed it but this is not good...

Does this look like it's mostly impacting users of Microsoft Windows Defender? @ToddMartin @MaryMays ?

My understanding was it was only Windows Defender doing it.

I've had lots of this with webroot and payroll files and Sage's KB named Webroot by name.
