The current version of Aurora is 1.999.307.  The current version is DMX only, so your controllers will need to be running DMX firmware to use it.  If you are still using D-Light/LOR protocols then you will need to stay with 1.0.90 or 1.0.185.

As for error 7, is the error from Aurora (sequencer) or Borealis (scheduler)?  What version of Aurora/Borealis are you using?

Also I can not seem to get the com port to link to the box the light stayed solid for about 30 seconds.]]> Sat, 12 Dec 2015 12:50:49 +0000 http://www.aurorashow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=529144&PID=694448#694448 http://www.aurorashow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1417&PID=11838#11838 Author: LightChristmas

Easy solution. Get rid of Norton and use AVG-Free. Just as good if not better, and making file exceptions is much easier.]]> Mon, 03 Dec 2012 15:24:45 +0000 http://www.aurorashow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1417&PID=11838#11838 http://www.aurorashow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1417&PID=11836#11836 Author: ibewill

I have been dealing with the kill.com problem for a while and mine problem is even worse. Norton Security Suite that Comcast gives free to customers is quarantining Kill.com and the entire Aurora Sequencer and Scheduler software. If I try to open either, there is no file to open with. I have to reopen the original download file that fixes Aurora then open Aurora Sequencer or Scheduler immediately after. Norton thinks its so bad I can't exclude aurora. Hope not to deal with this next year. Adding this to my other problems have been frustrating.]]> Mon, 03 Dec 2012 11:14:55 +0000 http://www.aurorashow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1417&PID=11836#11836 http://www.aurorashow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1417&PID=11443#11443 Author: BigDPS

Windows likes to change things around as they will. It likes to keep us on the edge....

As for killcom, it appears like my AVG hasn't seen it as a threat today when it scanned it. I wonder if AVG changed its heuristic files already?

I'm just glad this was caught now instead of December; this is the type of thing that usually pops up around then and makes a support nightmare (does anyone happen to remember Windows Update replacing the FTDI drivers right in the middle of the 2009 season?)

After disabling my AVG, I did manage to hash it and it gave me the 246b990f9acff3958f6a551889ae2339 number you had. I will tell AVG about the false positive.]]> Wed, 12 Sep 2012 17:07:36 +0000 http://www.aurorashow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1417&PID=11438#11438 http://www.aurorashow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1417&PID=11437#11437 Author: LightsOnLogan

I don't know the process with AVG.  With Avast I had to restore it from the virus chest, then temporarily shut down protection, then generate the MD5 hash, and then restart protection.

I submitted a false positive with Avast.  I encourage you to do the same with AVG. 

For performance reasons it is unlikely that any antivirus actually looks at every byte in a file.  While they don't reveal their secrets, it is probable that they look at a handful of bytes and the total file size to figure out if it is a threat or not.  This Aurora file just happens to match the pattern when it isn't a threat.

Interestingly, I can get the file to pass Antivirus testing if I comment out the lines which shut down the DMX-over-dongle server (the 2009-2011 DMX patch).

My anti virus won't even let me open the file. I use digestit and it tells me it can't open the file.

Avast started yanking killcom.exe off my development systems today too, so I guess I just today got the definitions update that thinks it is bad.  It gave no warning/notice or anything... one minute the file is there, then the next it is gone without any evidence as to what happened.  No log was generated in the Avast GUI either.  I had to go looking for it in the chest to find where it went.

If you have one then you can use your favorite MD5 checksum generator to check yours, or you can download one (this one is easy to use: http://www.colonywest.us/digestit/ )

There are two versions of the file for Aurora, both created in 2009.  The one with the July date should have a checksum of e7483276d245eb5fbd2d5dd0983258eb.  The one with a December date has a checksum of 246b990f9acff3958f6a551889ae2339. 

I just rebuilt from source and Avast immediately yanked the file created from source as soon as the compiler was done writing it to disk.  False positive?
