Don't Panic! Just in case it happens to any one else....
I've had "program editor" installed for years on various PCs.
Last updated the install some time after Christmas. Had Kaspersky installed for over a year as well. OS is Vista Home Premium SP2. Kaspersky is Internet Security 2010
Yesterday ( Sun 8 Oct) Kaspersky decided that FTchipID.dll (which is apparently part of c:\windows\system32\isDigitalLibrary.ocx) is infected with "Trojan.Win32.Agent.etxw" and did something nasty to it.
Program Editor now throws up alternate error messages with Kaspersky as it starts, and eventually gets to the "Pick your PICAXE" screen. After that it locks up and after being shut down from Task Manager throws up some sort of "error in Line 5" and vanishes.
I've tried reinstalling from the original download which has been resident on my PC all this time, but that gets blacklisted and deleted. I've downloaded the latest version, and that gets the same treatment.
I'm now waiting for an eMail reply from Kaspersky but not holding my breath.
As I said at the top Info Only. There are so many variables involved it may only be my PC. I may even have caught something nasty.
But just in case anybody else is in the same boat .... you are not alone!
