downloading gadgets

Post by Old_Wolf »

Good day, I have been downloading various gadgets, but my antivirus is indicating that some of the gadgets are not safe. prior to turning
off my antivirus, while I download these gadgets, has any one had this issue?

If you're downloading them from the http://gadgets.vectric.com site then you should be fine. Some AV software gets over zealous with programs that aren't very common and flags them up as potentially dangerous which is not the same as being infected with a virus.

I am trying to download the Gear Maker gadget, yet when it asks me to select components, there are none there. I tried another computer and had the same issue (I am a teacher and have V Carve Pro on all of the classroom computers).

Probably worth contacting vectric support directly at support@vectric.com

I have a feeling that the multi-install educational versions work differently and you may have to do some manual installing.
