      I posted this before in the Lounge but it disappeared for some reason. The installation file for Movescount2 (Windows 7 and newer) was blocked by our security software as it appears to be infected by malware. A warning to anyone who uses this piece of Suunto software, and a recommendation for anyone at Suunto to deal promptly with this security breach and also post an uninfected file for Windows (10) users. As this was revealed on a company computer we have filed a complaint to relevant authorities describing the incident.

        If you’re not a spammer (never say never 😁 ) can you tell where did you get the software and if you’re talking about Moveslink2 ?
        Because there is no Movescount2 or any downloadable Movescount

              my impression: he is not allowed to install private software on a business computer and the firewall detected this…

                I’m not a Spammer, just at disappointed user ;-). Yes, it should be Moveslink2 (got it wrong as had to rewrite my post since the first one disappeared). I downloaded it from Suuntos download page with the web page set to the Swedish profile. We run Win10 Professional with the latest patches and updates.

                  @suunto_andersson-a-se could you post the detailed message what was blocked? or even better the prevented hash value?

                    @TELE-HO I have total admin rights thank you. The file appears to attempt to connect to a non-suunto web site (cloudfront.net) hence it was blocked. When I check the file with Norton it looks OK which is no guarantee as Suuntos (especially legacy) software easily may slip though the mesh. I know that this is a page for Suunto lovers, but regardless of reason, it is unacceptable to ship software that does not live up to minimal standards regarding security.

                        @mario_b Why don’t you (re-) download the file and try to install it?

                          …because it obvisously contains malware since recently 😉

                            This is not necessary a fingerprint for a malaware, it could be a false positive
                            Cloudfront is just a CDN used by companies to share contents and even the Suunto app connect to it

                              @suunto_andersson-a-se 🙂 because i secured our company that it is impossible to download and install software without running through a process of checks, and only can be installed via SCCM. even on administration computers. but i’ll try it in the lab environment 👍 ☺

                                      @mario_b Don’t worry. I just returned the Traverse and will opt for a serious supplier. Suunto seems to be past its prime. Nice looking hardware but crappy software (created by amateurs?) and customer support (Trustpilot 1 out of 5). Unless everyone on this forum are paid Suunto trolls, why bother to do their job for them. This is just another Nokia going down the drain…
