Avast is blocking survo_MM?

This post was updated on .
Hi
- I downloaded SURVO_MM from its webpage but my antivir (avast) is pointing in the presence of virus and block it. Is there a solution for that.

- I installed successfully the muste  package. I want to know if there is interaction and exchange of results from/to R and muste  .

Yes, you can for example copy Survo R (muste) data to R dataframes and R dataframes to Survo R (muste).

In Survo R:
FILE LOAD data TO R>dataframe     / Copy Survo data "data" to R dataframe "dataframe"
FILE SAVE R>dataframe TO data     / Copy R dataframe "dataframe" to Survo data "data"

In R:
dataframe <- read.svo("data.SVO")  # Read Survo data "data" to R dataframe "dataframe"
write.svo(dataframe,"data.SVO")    # Write R dataframe "dataframe" to Survo data "data"


You can also run R code from the Survo edit field:
R CUR+1,CUR+2
a <- 1:10
mean(a)

And if you want to obtain the output directly to the edit field:
R CUR+1,CUR+2,END+2
a <- 1:10
mean(a)

There are also many other ways for interaction between Survo R and R, but these are something to begin with.

Hopefully this helps!

Hi!
Actually, it is not because of a virus, but because of it looks suspicious otherwise ("rare").

Here is a couple of views from my desktop just a minute ago:

The problem is not in SURVO MM but in the Avast software since it blocks
downloads of EXE files if these conditions are met:

1. The file is not prevalent enough, ie. not enough Avast users launched
the file yet,

2. The domain is not prevalent enough, ie. not enough Avast users
downloaded (any) EXE files from the domain yet,

3. The file is not signed or Avast does not trust the signature.

This is told, for example in
http://www.basicsimple.info/2015/02/20/avast-blocking-download.html

Surely SURVO_MM.exe does not fulfil the above conditions but this does not
mean that some viruses are lurking when using SURVO MM.

Hundreds of people in Finland and other countries have been using
SURVO MM for plenty of years without any troubles related to viruses.

I have posted a message to Avast asking them
either
as, for exaple, F-Secure does,
to introduce an option "I trust the application. Always allow it."
or at least
to accept SURVO_MM.exe as a trustworthy file.

Today I have got the following message from the Avast Support Team:
