update on AVG this morning I updated the database of AVG - regular daily updateGrisoft AVG Ver.9.0 bld. 733/Virus Database: 271.1.1/2732 UPDATED March 9, 2010 I tested my 448 show and it tested ok so I went further and started my #2 system and updated AVG as above - this system is used to test updates etc. - the ms and anti virus updates are all current - same will not run Ver 6 PTE - not enough horsepower checked system for a copy of 448 -- not there, so transferred a copy of 448 zip over the network PicturesToExe v4.48 (March 28, 2006) there is a working copy of 449 on the system [ no 449 patch on system]but the problem was with 4.48 so stayed with it installed 448 and opened a 442 show and saved it as a 448 show ran AVG tested fine It would be interesting if Marion would update her database - put her security back to normal and see if every thing is ok also Barry should inform his crew of my findings ken

Eric ver 8 is likely running out for updates and ver 9 has been out since last fall from my log -- Grisoft AVG Ver.9.0 bld. 698 installed on 3 systems November 7, 2009 be selctive in what you install - i did not install /enable the 'Internet-Protection Program' tell your box builder not to install antivirus in your new box without consulting you - you can decide whether you are going to stick with avg - i would stay with it you better search the forum for the various entries re anti virus and print them or consolidate the points for reference ken

BRIAN indeed a chuckler ull screen on my ws monitor good job ken

Marion glad you have things under control, and glad to hear you were able to recover from the vault - they must have changed things because years ago when it happened to me I was not able to use the exe's and had to remake them. On other occasions members have suffered the same as me. It is no big deal as long as you have all the components to remake the exe. ken

further to the above until this avg database is repaired i suspect if you run a spybot scan or similar, whenever it checks the exe's it will cause AVG to kick in telling you that you have a virus ken

COLIN great piece of architecture and you captured its beauty good show ken

Stu et al tried the patch on my test file [D:\P2E SHOWS - d 1pictures WORKING FOLDER\1_TOUR 2003 COPY] patch came back with message unable to open file also avg gave warning it was a virus -- disabled avg resident shield patch reply Aptching file: D:\P2E SHOWS - d 1pictures WORKING FOLDER\1_TOUR 2003 COPY\TOUR_2003_DVD_rev 448.exe unsupported file so shut patch down and restarted it - same error message so then i opened the original 4.48 version with 4.49 saveas and created as with new names - enabled the resident shield and tested the 4.49 exe ok but the patch would not fix the 4.48 ver this brings up another point re file names -- if i had not named these files as i did it would be a challenge to find out what i made this show with as the original was started with ver 4.2 in nov 2003 ken ken

Stu i think she will still need to disable the resident shield to do anything - am surprised she was able to transfer them from the cd and i believe she has the exe and not the whole package so she cant run patch - the author has to ken

STU it is a 4.48 show avg will not allow you to do anything with the file till you disable resident shield from the avg gui components resident shield bottom of screen disable save there will not likely be a fix for a couple days by avg -- it is the weekend Igor will have to exercise some muscle:)

4.42 TESTED FINE WITH RESIDENT SHIELD ENABLED [CALENDAR COLLECTION] 4.49 FILE TESTED OK WITH RESIDENT SHIELD ENABLED [FILE NAME 50TH FULL SIZE 4] KEN

YES MY VER 4.8 IS SHOWING A VIRUS WITH CURRENT AVG DATABASE I CLICKED IGNORE BUT STILL WOULD NOT PLAY DISABLED RESIDENT SHIELD AND SAME EXE NOW PLAYS KEN

yes we had some false positives with that version as i recall I have advised Igor and the other moderartors who i have working email addies of the situation - generally Igor can get AVG to rectify their data base within a day i will check my 4.48 shows and get back to forum ken

YOU MUST DISABLE THE RESIDENT SHIELD ASAP can you contact the owners and advise them of the predicament think you are typing as i am typing as you are not answering all my questions ken

MARION YOU MUST DISABLE THE RESIDENT SHIELD ASAP DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER COMPUTER YOU CHECK THE CD ON WITH ANOTHER AV PROGRAM CAN YOU PUT THEM UP TO MEDIAFIRE IN ZIPS AND THEN WE CAN VERIFY THEM AS LONG AS THE RESIDENT SHIELD IS ACTIVE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RUN THEM - -YOU MAY NNOT EVEN BE ABLE TO UPLOAD THEM WITH IT ACTIVE I LOST TOO MANY EXE'S TO COUNT WHEN AVG PUT THEM IN THE VAULT -- THEY WOULD PLAY NO MORE KEN

MARION DISABLE THE RESIDENT SHIELD ASAP PLEASE SUPPLY THE FORUM ALL INFO ON YOUR VERSION OF AVG DO YOU KNOW WHAT VERSION OF PTE MADE THE SHOWS my avg specs are virus db =271.1/2728 avg ver = 9.0.733 I HAVE ASST EXE'S that i keep for testing and they test ok also see http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8165&pid=51457&st=0entry51457 ken

GENERALLY, BILL leaves uploads ther for 30 days at least and the site has a couple search fetures -- best to study the site and become familiar with it's features and the download is not that big so it will be on your system +- 5 mins ken

Davy - also reminded me of my experiments with growing crystals - making microscope slides - getting sheet polarizing film from scientific supply haouse and with a microscope adapter on a 35 mm Konica taking picts -- those old Kodak books could really suck one in - they made it sound so easy - the camera shop just loved me what a road we have been over the tv just said March is Guiness month ! I thought all month's were Irish Beer Month ken

Newfy i merged your thread into the v7 thread -- you may have to answer more questions for Igor -- best go thru the whole thread ken

Davy reminded me of the last time i had a Sonogram http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonogram only in colour if you want anymore of the canyon, email me and will send -- have +- 12 that i got off google 2001 ken

DISABLE NORTON IT IS CAUSING A FALSE POSITIVE - THIS IS AN ONGOING NORTON PROBLEM http://www.picturest...t=0entry71421 I have writtem Igor ken

IT IS A SAD DAY KEN

Michael W for starters a few links related to text -- they may get you going http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10844&pid=70348&st=0entry70348 http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10170&st=0entry66334 http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10894&pid=70661&st=0entry70661 http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9894&st=0entry64599 ken

Mark guess you missed Peter's comment (Note: it is only advice and not, in any sense, strict rules) It is not the forum's business to make rules as you suggest Now if a competition has a set of rules for entrants to follow that is a different story, people on the forum put their shows up for people to share -- if they dont suit you, then dont download them ken

PETER my suggestion did not want file size, aspect etc what i want to see is when somebody posts a show, the download name is the same as the contents of the zip or the exe. you would not believe the different names of the same file in my collection and when somebody asks for a file the problems i encounter and if you are posting shows for members to share, for your own records one should keep track of all info for that show ken

It would also be nice if people would name thier shows [the exe] the same as their description and for their own records keep a link as to where they posted it ken
