I have run Bible Seeker and its various components for years with no problems. This must be a false positive.

A few months ago someone gave a link to bible seeker. I tried to install it but, it didn't install. I guess it was a virus.

I don't know what anti virus program you are using, but with many--particularly McAfee and Symantec products, they give a lot of false positives. I remember when people running NVDA had all sorts of problems with Symantec which kept eating up NVDA whenever it updated.

Hi,

Please excuse me if the question is not close related to nvda, but as you are talking about antivirus program, I thought I would try to ask, I installed avg antivirus, but as it is not so accessible, I would like to remove it completely. it is impossible to do so because it seems it has some problems removing itself. does any one know how to do? If you can, please help me. Even after installing Windows 10 avg is still here! I really have no idea on how to handle it. Thank you in advance. Ciao. Angela from Italy

Is Avg a 64 bit install? if not then the old version of Revo will do it or always used to.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I'd have thought that their site would give some kind of help on removal but it may well involve the sighted. The problem is as they now seem to belong to the same outfit as Avast they are probably prohibiting screenreaders from hooking in to their code as well.

You need to use screen navigation to get to the items as whoever wrote the software seems to have taken a holiday on that part. Before you decide to delete though, have a look at the log, which you can read from inside the software and see exactly what it found. If its just a possibly unwanted bit of software it might actually be something you want to keep, like a password finder etc. Many of these tools are seen as malicious when they are not really.

Also if its cookies be sure no log in or config details are not in that cookie before you allow it to be deleted. Brian bglists@blueyonder.co.uk Sent via blueyonder. Please address personal email to:- briang1@blueyonder.co.uk, putting 'Brian Gaff' in the display name field.

No it was probably due to a false positive then, but a bit of it is still there I suspect.

If you have the latest version of Windows 10 you don't need to run the malware program because there is built-in virus program called Windows Defender Security. If your machine seems to be infected you need to keep your virus definition up to date, then run offline to scan it. It will restart your PC and then, it will boot for couple of minutes. Once, the machine has been restarted you could check the history if the said threats were removed, or deleted.

We don't know what link was given to Bible seeker
by the person referenced in the first message. If it wasn't to the site of
the owner or the authorized distributor of the product, who knows what may be
trying to install itself from the site or may have been added to the
program? The first question for anyone getting malware warnings in the
ddiscussion is what site is being used?
