I am looking at your site since a friend running Kaspersky alerted me that she got an error code when going to my website, yet Norton, that I run did nothing.
I have since had to redo my site. I found php files on the site and on my computer that I had not put there.
By doing lots of reading since, I think I should be running 2 checkers? Once that is automatic and one I engage myself???????
Will Norton allow Kaspersky to run?
I also am wondering about monitoring my website.. I author 4 and don't want malicious code getting into any of them. Does your program allow me to directly check my site?
Before installing any Kaspersky product uninstall all previous anti-virus programs including previous Kaspersky installations. Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky, etc. al have the tools to assist
in preparing your system for a clean and effective installation. You ned to include any backups
that may contain outdated vesions or unwanted AV, Internet Prtctn. providers. Hope the information helps you avoid the consequences this use experienced. Kaspersky's site is an excellent source of suggestions and detailed information. It is well worth the time. Good Luck
