Much appreciated.
Thanks,

Edit: I see all or most of your posts are in this thread, so you may not be an ahk user. This problem is not isolated to EitherMouse, but it is a long term problem with AutoHotkey in general, which is a product of it being a very powerful scripting language, and some malicious users exploiting that. EitherMouse is not malicious in its function, but has the capability to be (a similar script with no way to restore mouse button functionality would be considered malware, and the executable would vary by almost nothing.Thanks for the feedback, its a known and ongoing problem with antivirus software. Most will let you ignore the detection or add it to a whitelist. You can try reporting the false positive to your antivirus company, but I gave up bothering with that years ago as i never made any progress. To date, since first released in 2009, i have not once found an actual infection of any file from eithermouse.com... and if you run it through virustotal.com you usually get around 2 out of 65 false positives. Personally i assume 2 are wrong and 63 are right, but i guess thats for the end user to decide. I will double check that there are no infections currently and let you know if I'm mistaken. Someday I will buy the license needed to created "signed" executables that may (or may not) help with the false positives, but its not cheap. You can also try downloading EitherMouse.exe directly, or EitherMouse.zip and extract, and skip the setup program to see if that helps, or temporarily disable your antivirus software.

Good idea. I've sent a report there in case it helps, and the result I've gotten is:gwarble wrote: ↑19 Nov 2018, 10:32
Send a report to Microsoft about a misidentified file (false positive):

Btw, I reinstalled the app thinking this might fix the issue, but it made no difference...danig wrote: ↑27 Oct 2018, 04:02I'm using this software to set different cursor speeds for my mouse and my trackpad. It was working fine with an older version, but since I last updated it it usually fails to recognise when I switch from one pointing device to the other (ie, it keeps on using my mouse's set speed when I start using my trackpad, and viceversa). Tried deleting the profiles and setting them again, to no avail. What can I do?
Thanks
PS: One interesting thing is that, when the app is applying the wrong profile, it kind of 'wakes up' and switches to the right profile if I just click on the windows task bar button that shows you the hidden icons (among which is EitherMouse's).
Yeah, I would do that but the inconvenience with that is that Windows 10 (at least with the default settings) won't start the program anymore at Windows' startup if I toggle on that option - it would require the user to start EitherMouse manually every time.
Yep.
Code: Select all
; If (ThisMouse = 0)
; Return 0
