WARNING... Since 2011 Antivirus companies have started to signal computer user that the file download or on the CD contains a TROJAN VIRUS. In fact I can assure you that there are none. I am constantly working to maintain my computers and servers free of whatso ever virus there might be.

There is a simple reason. Upon registration, the software send through the Internet from your computer to my web server the serial number and Name of the software. Nothing else. It also verify each time you open the Book that the book is genuine and legal, not a copy. Antivirus program interpret that as a TROJAN VIRUS, which in fact it is not.

If your Antivirus program mention that there is a VIRUS upon installation or when you did an upgrade of your antivirus program, you'll have to deactivate your antivirus program (NOT REMOVE IT FROM YOUR COMPUTER) only for the time of installation. Afterward, just restart it.

Then you'll need to tell your antivirus program (this varies on how to do it with antivirus programs) NOT TO SCAN the following folder: c:\program files\Variety2012

If you need more informations, please feel free to ask! I'll be glad to help.
