Kaspersky blocking install

Post by Newp »

I have just purchased Tickstory. When I try to download/install the file I have been emailed Kaspersky blocks the install and download of the file. I have tried temporarily disabling Kaspersky so I can run the exe. When I install the file and then turn Kaspersky back on the software is automatically removed.

How do I fix this?

Hi Newp,

Thanks for contacting us. Kaspersky unfortunately occasionally raise false-positives for our software. We have just requested that they white-list this latest version and it usually occurs within 24-48 hours but may vary.

In the mean-time, you can check if the software is genuine and not been tampered with by going to Windows Explorer->Properties->Digital Signatures and checking that the signature reads "OK". After that, it would be safe to temporarily create an exception in Kaspersky for Tickstory until their latest virus signatures come through.

Apologies for any inconvenience - we'll update this thread when it's resolved.

Thanks.

I've tried creating an exception and it still removes the file.

Hi Newp,

Kaspersky have now resolved the issue. If you update your virus signatures, Kaspersky should no longer delete the file.

Thanks.
