When you run or install Omron software it is possible for anti-virus software to report a computer virus. Every precaution is taken during manufacture to prevent the spread of viruses so this is unlikely but is also possible to be a false report from the virus software itself.
Checking for a False Positive virus report
If you get a virus report with Omron software you should take the following steps:
- Inform your local IT administrator (if appropriate)
- Download the latest virus definitions for the tool you use
- Perform a full virus scan on your local machine and any installation media
- If a virus is found, then try installing at least 2 more commercial or freeware anti-virus products and repeat the scan. Trial versions are often available for download and good freeware products are available from AVG and AVAST
- If a virus is only reported by one tool, report it to the anti virus manufacturer as a False Positive and request updated definition files
- If a virus is reported by more than one tool, please contact your Omron support centre to request new media
