After FAR too long, The Updater has finally been updated.  The new version includes a basic GUI with a progress bar, shows when the last time you updated was, a tooltip showing the server status and current player count, and is smaller, faster and smarter.
Please visit the forum thread at https://tekagis.ca/p...=4&t=8&p=12#p12 to see what all has changed and basic usage instructions.
You can get a copy of the new version from https://downloads.te...agisUpdater.exe

Pretty funny, had Avira popping up "Threat has been detected". First time I clicked on it my download manager got it, but then at subsequent attempts it doesn't catch it and the page remains not reachable (Connection was reset error).

Due to the fact it was coded with Autoit, virus scanners sometimes give false positives.  Autoit has been used for the creation of viruses before, and has led to some AV's detecting all apps created with Autoit as viruses. This is a known and on going issue in the Autoit community https://www.autoitsc...oIt_and_Malware

 

The only real remedy is for me to send the updater.exe and source code to the company and have them whitelist the program. however as soon as i update the program again i have to resend the sample.

 

Though your Avira definitions may need updating, as here are the current scan results from virustotal.com (56 different AV engines)

3 less common AV's currently flag it as a false positive using heuristic analysis, Avira isn't one of them.

As for the 'connection reset' error, its probably decided to start blocking the file download or website.

 

Your welcome to use the older TekagisUpdater (its never generated any false positives from any AV engines), but I should warn you it will probably stop working shortly once i start changing things.
