OTP Product Triggers False Alarms in Anti-Virus and/or Anti-Spyware.

Most Anti-Virus software nowadays utilize heuristic technologies that are supposed to make “educated guesses” on potential threats even if a concrete one is not detected. Heuristic technologies can enhance security but often trigger false alarms.

False alarms usually go away in less than a month following a virus definition update from your anti-virus software company.

To eliminate the possibility of a real threat you may use the “Virus Total” service (http://www.virustotal.com/). Virus Total scans files with dozens of anti-virus software and therefore returns much more reliable results than just scanning with a single anti-virus. Go to the Virus Total website and upload the suspected file for scanning. Most uninfected files may

. trigger false alarms in a few anti-virus software. Infected files will trigger alarms in dozens if not all anti-virus software scanned by Virus Total.

The current workaround for this issue is disabling the Anti-virus or disabling its heuristic features prior to using your OTP product.

10.

End users cannot print a protected PDF file on Adobe Reader X even though print restrictions were not applied.

This is a known issue in current versions of TrusCont copy protection products. This is a temporary workaround that end users can utilize in order to enable printing: a. Remove any TrusCont protected discs and flash drives from the computer. b. Close all Adobe reader windows. c. Open Adobe reader and go to the Edit -> preferences drop down menu d. Under the ‘General’ settings – clear the “Enable Protected Mode at startup” option, click OK and then restart Adobe Reader. e. You will now be able to print protected document that are allowed to be printed.

Print settings must be set to “Print Directly to Printer”, not “Spool Print Jobs”. Since this copy protection does not allow the data to be saved to a file the print job fails.

a.

Click the start button

Select ‘Devices and Printers’

Right click the printer and select ‘Printer properties’

Windows 8 - Will OTP software work on Windows 8?

OTP discs contain a copy protection system which may cause compatibility problems when used on Windows 8 operating systems. Limited testing has taken place with the result that the software worked on our Windows 8 test systems. However, this may not be the case for other users of OTP software. For this reason a patch has been created which will update Windows 8 computers to enable running of OTP discs.

Please use the link below to download the patch if you are experiencing usability problems. The patch will be an executable file. With the OTP disc in your drive simply run the file â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it should initialise your system for use with the protected disc and launch the OTP application. You should only need to do this once. After, simply run the disc as usual.
