On installing KDE on a windows 7 64bit machine, my virus scanner (F-secure) blocks the file C:\Program Files (x86)\KDE\bin\akonadi_rds.exe. After KDE installer finishes, no start folder menu entry is created and kile won't run. Link my antivirus software gives me: http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/other_w32_generic.shtml - a general description of malware (Follow-up results, not sure if linked to this issue: Kile won't run because it complains that the file poppler_qt4.dll is not installed. After manually renaming a similarly-named file of my miktex installation, and running Kile as an administrator, it will start but complain that there is no editor component installed within KDE. It is then not possible to open or create a new file in kile as it when hitting the 'new' button, it will complain that tex\latex\koma-script\scrartcl.cls is missing, and i didn't find a way how to install it. I have no clue if this is an issue of the miktex package or of KDE and didn't follow it up any further.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. download kde installer 2. run kde installer, selecting at least kile and kdebase-workspace packages Actual Results: Anti-virus software reports it has found a virus No KDE startup folder generated programs (Kile) won't run Expected Results: should install smoothly
I also use f-secure antivirus and it once reported vsd.exe as malware. They have a page where you can send those false positives, when I sent vsd, they replied very promptly: "The file you submitted is indeed clean. A database update will be released to resolve this issue. For the meantime, you may exclude this file from Real-time Scanning. Instructions for exclusions can be found here: Internet Security 2008 and 2009: http://www.f-secure.com/en/web/home_global/support/article/kba/15128/k/15128/p/1 Internet Security 2010, Internet Security 2011, Client Security 9: http://www.f-secure.com/en/web/home_global/support/article/kba/7423/k/7423/p/1 For the latest database updates please visit this page: http://www.f-secure.com/en_EMEA/security/tools/definition-databases/ We apologize for any inconveniences that this may have brought you.

Re: "After manually renaming a similarly-named file of my miktex installation" -> You could install "okular" for now as that is supposed to install poppler properly.
