    SOOOOOOO . Maybe you should look at the MSI download - yesterday it was version 12-beta-something, now it's version 11.

    Thanks for (once again) not updating all downloads at the same time (this time even putting an older version up for download), making us (almost) deploy teamviewer in an outdated version !!

    Downloaded Version 12 from your website.  When I try to install AVG virus detects a virus and quarantines the Teamviewer setup file.  The virus is reported as Luhe.MSIL.C.

    This problem occurred when I tried to update Teamviewer 12 Beta from with the program as well as trying to execute the downloaded setup file.

    Has anyone else reported this and what are the recommendations.  Right now I am continuing to use the Beta version 12.0.71077.

    Hi @Bob_R

    This is a so called "false-positive message" and we are already in contact with AVG and other companies.

    If you want you can wait until AVG allows TeamViewer or you can mark TeamViewer as a trusted download.

    I hope, this helps you!

    Hi @Esther,

    sorry for my "OT" (and for my poor english...), have you news of TeamViewer Host 12 (Android, Beta or Final) and if it is compatible with Android TV?

    Thanks.

    @Esther I can mention about 3 times in the last year, whre MSI version was not updated correctly. Now it has been 24+ hours, a (wrong) confirmation that is was already corrected etc.

    I'm thankful for the direct link to version 12 and your kind help, but you *really* should evalute internally@teamviewer how you make absolutely sure to have correct downloads in place for all types of teamviewer on the download page at the same time and why there's nobody double-checking (it seems to me it's a one-man job and nobody checking for correct download links before releasing the new page / or you're actually just editing the "live" download page as you see fit). That kind of change-management has now again been proven to not work for you guys. Just saying!

    "This is a so called "false-positive message" and we are already in contact with AVG and other companies."

    Maybe someone might suggest to...

    "in contact with AVG and other companies"

    BEFORE a NEW RELEASE...is released.

    A lot more fun I would add....

    And what about compatibility with older versions?

  • Esther

    @gothedufranca

    With TeamViewer 12 you can connect to previous versions. That means, if your connection partner has a TeamViewer in version 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12, you can make a remote control connection.

    Please be aware of the fact, that it is not possible to make a remote control connection from a "older" TeamViewer version to a "newer" version.

    Dear Esther,

    I have many hosts. If I update my Teamviewer, will I be able to connect to my hosts?
    Do I need to update hosts too? One by one?

    Thank you!

    You are fine having the latest version. You will be able to connect to all your clients (hosts) just fine. At your liesure, when you do a connection, If I were you, I would update there Teamviewer at that time as well. What she is saying is that if you stayed on an older version and tried to connect to someone who has updated to 12, that would not work.

    (PS) You may want to wait on your clients upgrade til AVG and other anti-virus are no longer flagging this version 12 as a threat, otherwise you have to create an exception in there antivirus program)

    When I finally got 12 to install it would not connect to other versions...

    That is certainly strange, i would think that you would have to reinstall your Teamviewer. The reason I say this, is that I have logged on to 2 remote machines with no problem. Both machines inform me that they are running an older version of Teamviewer when I first log on.

    Teamviewer is a fantastic product.  It has always worked flawlessly until now.  After connect it hangs with the message initializing display parameters.  Numerous Community posts of this error with no solution or responses posted as to how to fix. Please advise.
