Re: NI Virus?

I'm sorry about the bump to this (2 years, but I thought it might help somebody), but I'm in the same scenario as you. I just installed LabVIEW. My computer has been running terribly slow. Yes, the file is a false positive. 8/42 Anti-Virus programs on VirusTotal show it as a Trojan Horse. This is obvioulsy not true. So I checked Task Manager. Nothing was really popping out, other than a running AVG scan. So I checked running services and started disabling National Instruments services, and eventually disabled "National Instruments mDNS Responder service". Instantly regained my speed. Problem Solved!

Again, sorry for the bump. I'm not new to forums, but I thought this was necessary.
