Sorry. I now realize that Robin uses Kaspersky. Ok, Robin, disable or uninstall Kaspersky and use the free version of Avira AntiVir temporarily.\ Since even Lipman can't nail it, please post back on what program is causing the message. Thanks, Buffalo

That is why I recommended that he disable or uninstall his anti-virus and anti-malware programs and install Avira AntiVir and free MBAM and hopefully the free SAS. ( I don't think he ever said that he tried them both) If the above doesn't change things, then that would indicate a different security program causing the problem. Buffalo

I also run ActiveScan 2, which was recommended, together with Kaspersky, by AumHa. I don't intend to through the process of uninstalling Kaspersky. -- Robin (BrE) Herts, England

If you disable Kaspersky and just use the free Avira AntiVir and no message comes up, perhaps it is Kaspersky doing it. Doesn't really seem like it's worth the trouble overall. Buffalo PS: If you ever find out what it is, please post back. |
