“This program has been damaged…” messages when starting Paessler programs
If you receive the message “This program has been damaged, possibly by a bad sector of the hard drive or a virus. Please reinstall it.” when starting IPCheck Server Monitor, PRTG Traffic Grapher or Webserver Stress Tool then you either have a virus or trojan on your computer or a malfunctioning anti-spyware software.
One reason that can cause the message above can be some malware on your system that compromises the EXE files of our products. The other can be a buggy anti-spyware software.
