Hi,

I am trying to install AnyDVDHD, and each time I install it I get Kaspersky coming up warning me that there is a virus in it. I have attached a pic of the problem. I downloaded it from Slysofts website so I don't understand as to why its being picked up as a threat?





Any Ideas?


Thanks,

Wiz

Wiz me dear fella, its not about where you downloaded it from, but more what happened to it on the way.. It could easily have been hijacked along the way..Also it might look like it is hosted on their, but could be an external mirror and who's to say the external mirror can be trusted..I have had KIS stop updates from Microsoft, because it thought there were a threat..
Anyway I just went to the site and tried to download it and got the same thing.
Moral of the story, don't trust anyone..

Hi Madxgraphics,

I have removed it and downloaded it again and it seems fine now. Is this common for files to sometimes get hijacked along the way?


Thanks,
