Message: [QUOTE="UpAndPrinting, post: 227092, member: 22349"] The risks involved with what you're doing could end the same because it took a "hacker" to create this type of procedure. You're essentially forcing a different firmware onto your printer and hoping for the best. Which could result in bricking or making the printer useless if the files are bad. The "hackers" create an executable that sends the new firmware to the printer. None of the files are digitally signed by the printer manufacturer. That could also be triggering Norton. Once you mentioned Norton, it makes a little more sense now. They're on the forefront like McAfee was. Here you can watch the creator of McAfee try and help you remove his own antivirus software because it caused more problems than fixed: [MEDIA=youtube]yIaNZXgDtRU[/MEDIA] I'm glad you pushed through and were able to get it working though. Use Malwarebytes and Windows defender in the future for scans and Malware/AV detection. [/QUOTE]
