Sony NW/NWZ series: destination and sounds pressure tool ...virus?
« on: January 22, 2018, 04:00:55 PM »
Hi all,

newbie here, so go easy ;)

i'm trying to install the 'Sony NW/NWZ series: destination and sounds pressure tool' to remove my NW-A35's volume limit (annoying & distracting/dangerous when it kicks in a warning when i'm bluetoothing in the car)

I have used search with no joy

problem is, i can't even download scsitool-nwz-v19.exe without windows defender firing up warning about Fuerboos.D!cl being a Trojan?

is this normal?

Cheers & TIA

Hi,
where did you download it from? The only valid link is the one on https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SonyNWDestTool which gives https://www.dropbox.com/s/12slnqnu7yac6zu/scsitool-nwz-v19.exe?dl=0. Can you please try that link?

EDIT: for completeness, I tried tried running Windows Defender on the file on my Windows VM (I made sure to update Defenser) and it was clean

No complain from Windows Defender and Kaspersky (Windows 10) here.
I think the link is safe. I suggest you exceptionally turn off Windows Defender for the download.

I think Windows Defender tends to have false alarms more frequently for cross compiled tools because not very many Windows programs are cross compiled from unix so they look stranger.

can now confirm that scsitool-nwz-v19.exe works with a Sony NW- A35 ...& that the bloody annoying volume warning that seemed to randomly interrupt playing every now & then has been removed (by setting the region to E2) :)

thanks again all!
