ZDaemon - Scanner false positives - Re-post
2025-09-14 • AF-Domains • (General ZDaemon News)

There have been a few reports regarding downloaded files being remove or quarantined by Windows Defender.

This is a long-standing false positive.

An exception will need to be added for both files or the zdaemon directory to prevent this from re-occurring.

All files are checked several times prior to any release.

ZServ 1.10.25 - Update Hotfix #1

2024-10-29 • AF-Domains • (General ZDaemon News)

A new version of the ZServ has now been released.

This accounts for a MAPINFO error-handling regression case.

The ZServ would exit out with a fatal error with a message similar to the following:
SC_GetFloat: Bad numeric constant "forcenoskystretch".
Script MAPINFO, Line 17


Due to this it is strongly recommended to update to the new ZServ dated 2024-10-29 (it is now available via our Downloads section).
