Antivirus Warning when Updating LinkFixer Advanced
Antivirus software vendors usually have methods to prevent legitimate software programs from giving a false positive and being mis-identified as a virus. LinkFixer Advanced has been registered with the top antivirus vendors and should not be identified as containing a virus or as being malware.
As a result, if you updated LinkFixer Advanced by clicking “Check For Updates” inside the program, or by downloading an update from our official download site (LinkTek.com), and you receive a warning from an antivirus program during the installation or an upgrade of LinkFixer Advanced, it is likely to be a false positive.
If you do receive a false-positive warning from an antivirus program, please inform LinkTek support of the situation by following these steps:
- Take a screen shot of the warning message or notification.
- E-mail that screen shot image to Support@LinkTek.com.
- Continue running LinkFixer Advanced.
Important: Running an antivirus program on a machine that is running LinkFixer Advanced can result in a dramatic degradation of LinkFixer Advanced’s performance. If your antivirus software attempts to scan files before allowing LinkFixer Advanced to process them, this additional “overhead” will significantly reduce processing speeds.
