Re: [Elecraft] New KPA1500 Remote Program
Hi, By default, Avast will move any unknown file to the locker. This includes new software like the utility. In the Avast settings, one of the first entries is Enable CyberCapture. Set this to "allow me to decide". Once you have done this, it will not automatically be sent to the locker, but rather scanned while you wait and then all will be well. 73 Tom va2fsq.com -Original Message- From: Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft Sent: Friday, August 24, 2018 12:31 PM To: Mark Ethridge ; Ed G Cc: Elecraft Reflector Subject: Re: [Elecraft] New KPA1500 Remote Program Have no fear, it’s a “false positive”.

Re: [Elecraft] New KPA1500 Remote Program
Most *.exe programs are blocked by many antivirus programs. Download first, then go to download folder note the file name and then add to the allowed programs in your anti virus program or firewall settings. You can always back down the user settings to not block everything suspicious but have the firewall prompt you as to whether or not you think it is safe. I am generic in my description as to how to do this as there are so many OS's and so little time... for me. 73, Bill K9YEQ https://wrj-tech.com/ -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of W0FK Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2018 7:09 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] New KPA1500 Remote Program I have the same issue with most Elecraft and other ham-related programs when using Norton.
