Known Issues:
1. In some instances, shortcuts in the registry to infected files deleted may remain after running in advanced disinfection mode.

4. When upgrading from Microsoft Windows XP to Microsoft Windows Vista, the program must be uninstalled before upgrading and reinstalled after the upgrade is completed.
5. When upgrading Microsoft Windows Vista from one version to another (i.e. Home Basic to Ultimate), you must run the program restore procedure.
