!IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
Dealing with Computer Virus Programs
Many users are reporting problems dealing with their Virus protection software. This note is an attempt to warn users of the problem.
Most Virus Programs will automatically scan a USB drive as soon as it is connected to the computer. The ALC Viewer sometimes looks like a threat and gets flagged. This is normal and unavoidable because the viewer can access and move files. The ALC Viewer is not a treat and is completely safe.
As soon as you place the USB Drive into the computer, you should wait to see what happens. If the virus software pops up a box, you should take care to answer the questions to allow that file to stay on the computer and be active. Normally this involves you confirming that the files are safe, and you want them to be available. In some cases, the USB files get presented but you don’t see the ALC viewer with its distinctive logo. This is because the virus protection software has quarantined it. If this is the case you need to open the virus software program and look for its messages, you should see that it reports having taken action to quarantine the files. Then go ahead and release the file and confirm you are happy to allow it to be used.
This is a one-off step, once the Virus Program has learned the software is not a threat, it will not ask again.
