NOTE: Difficulties have been reported using the Self-installing .EXE File. These problems include a
false positive virus error message.
If you have difficulties downloading the .EXE files, the operation may be caused by your Anti Virus software. To get around this problem, you can either disable your Anti Virus software for the
length of time needed to download the software. Alternatively, you may download the .ZIP version of the software.
If you are using AVAST Antivirus, they have introduced a new criteria, which prevents small companies from doing business over the internet. This new 'feature'
shows up as a DREP virus.
All this means is that the small company, such as Lucid Enterprises and many others, have not had enough downloads of their products to get listed in their reputation file. Funny, if no one can
download the software, AVAST will never allow downloads!
Additional workarounds for AVAST include:
- Disable AVAST to allow download: Right-click on the AVAST Icon in your System Tray and select 'Avast sheields control' and select 'Disable for 10 minutes'
- Go to AVAST SETTINGS : COMPONENTS : WEB SHIELD : EXCLUSIONS. Click on the 'URLs to exclude', and click the checkbox. In the '(enter address) box, add each of the following URLS and press 'Add':
- www.lucid-enterprises.com/*
- www.lucidcc.com/*
Click 'OK' and AVAST will stop giving you these false positive virus messages for our software. Note: AVAST may need to re restarted for these changes to take place.
- We have recently become aware of more false positives from AVAST. This problem may occur when 'Enable CyberCapture' is checked in the SETTINGS: GENERAL tab
We have been submitting files to AVAST to get our product on their Whitelist. Several have been added thus far, but not all files have been submitted
Uncheck this box to complete the download and installation process.
- Install a better Antivirus software product to replace Avast
We could pay to get our software on the Reputation list, but that would significantly increase the price of the product to our customer base.
