check for anti-virus software so that machine does not hang
Posted: Wed Oct 08, 2008 11:26 am
Hi.
After first installing AISBackup, whenever I tried to run it my machine would hang during setup. AISBackup displayed message: "AISBackup: Please Wait. Testing: DISC Interface. Settingup AIS Backup." The hang is particularly bad - even CNTL+ALT+DEL does not work. I have to physically turn off my machine.
I luckily guessed out that the problem was my anti-virus software, NOD32 (www.Eset.com.) I have absolutely no problem running AISBackup when I turn off NOD32. Maybe you have some stuff about anti-virus software in the documentation somewhere, but like a lot of folks I usually try to run something with a minimum of reading.
My desired feature: I would like AISBackup to detect NOD32 (and other anti-virus software, if they are problems) and give an error message "Turn off your anti-virus software", instead of having the machine going into such a hard hang.
Thanks for listening.
