Answers:

  1. Will the Online Bible install correctly under Windows VISTA?
     
    If you use Online Bible 2.10 or later you should not have a problem. You can download a free update of the Online Bible software from the download library. This update will work with cd-roms not older then 2 years. If you use a cd-rom/dvd with version 2.10, please download first a new update of the software. Thousends of users already installed the Online Bible under Vista without a problem. In a few cases people reported a problem for which we have a workaround.

  2. My viruschecker tells the file innnnn.olb in BIBLELND contains a virus?
     
    Of course we take all virus warnings serious. However this virus is reported to us on regular base during the last 8 years. Our research showed

    • The file is a compressed bmp image and not an executable. The file is never executing anuthing. It is just an image.
    • Famous antivirus software, like McAfee, Norton and AVG, never reproted this problem. The report always comes from the use of a less known antivirus product
    • There is never a virusname reported
    • Only one antivirus software mentioned the virusfamily. It was hard to find a description of the activities of this virusfamily. But the family should be a virus linking itself to the .com files only. The innnnn.olb file is not a .com file, but a compressed .bmp file
    • The same map where innnnn.olb is located contains hundreds of other innnnn.olb files, which seems not to contain this virus
    • Tenthousends use the same Online Bible and never obtain this viruswarning
    Everything indicates this is a fake warning.
