    I tired this about 5 ways, its not going to let me   I know kaspoersky can be picky,  but I never had it take stuff off my safe list and reblock it after I had marked as safe before.  it went right through cararra software picking out all the little malwere flags & gutting carrara out everytime i load it. if I can't get to add to my safe list then I may just not use it. first software i ever had that never took to a safe list.  There is a reason I pay for a AV for protection.  I am just wondering what it is that set off kaspersky so I can make a work around for it ..

    since all of us here are using Carrara,. it's likely that kaspersky AV is reporting a false positive.

    if you're downloading Carrara directly from Daz (then it's the same software that we all have) ...and it's not a virus, malware, or trojan.

    it is also possible that you already have a virus on your system which is jumping in and infecting whatever you're installing.

    I use McAfee "Total protection" and have no issues installing / using Carrara, or any other legitimate softwares.

    You could try another AV program

    McAfee have a free app called "stinger" which can be used to check any system,.    fit's on a floppy

    Stinger is a "utility" for checking a system,.. and not a full antivirus program.

    Hope it helps :)

    Thanks for the advice.  But trust me when I tell you I don''t have any virus or maleware on my system. ..I downloaded carrara 8.5 pro from my product manager right off the daz site. and used the purchased serial numbers to activate. I paid $29 bucks with a 80% discount offer I got. its legit copy of carrara .

    But anyway I was able to get carrara added to my Kaspersky white list. after buggering with it for a while and its working fine now. 

    This is how I worked around it.  if anyone else is using KASPERSKY. 

    first I shut off kaspersky &  clean installed carrara with kaspersky off. Then I added carrara to my legacy start-up file for my older programs that I have to run in compatibility mode for my system server set up. then I turn kaspersky back on and it recognized carrara as a new installed program and give me a pop up options box this time asking if i want to let carrara run on my system . I clicked accept and bingo it add carrara to my safe white list.

    back to your regular programming

    Carrara seen as a Trojan!

    That's because it comes in as a mild-manored 3d authoring software, and then unleashes its rooms full of tools of Power!!! Power and Bliss!!!

    Okay, sorry to make light. I know that viruses are a major concern, which is just too bad. Why people have to hack other people's stuff is beyond me.
