Title: malware in NX-D?
Post by: bwana on November 04, 2019, 03:51:08 pm

Downloaded the latest Nikon NX-D from nikonusa. On installation, my antivirus said this:

The offending code is IFGLS001.exe

The detection method is ML/Augur. This is a machine learning algorithm to detect malware.

I imagine it's some kind of 'remote telemetry' code and has already been discussed in these German photo threads

The whole reason for trying to use NX-D is because I want to see the focus point in the file. Is this possible in Lightroom or other software?
