Why the browser and antivirus block loading LANVisor and what to do?

LANVisor has a set of special functions that provide hidden launch and working of the client program, as well as protection of executable files from being deleted by the user. Often, such functions are recognized by antivirus programs as malicious.

Also, some antiviruses and browsers may allow false positives due to the fact that we do not use commercial code signing certificates that certify the software publisher. Such certificates cannot provide a full guarantee that the executable file signed by them does not carry malicious code, and therefore we see no reason to use them.

Please open virustotal.com website to see antiviruses that have false positives for the LANVisor installer at the current time.

If your browser blocks the download of LANVisor, please do not worry, and allow the browser to complete the download.
If your antivirus has made a false positive when downloading or installing LANVisor, please add blocked files to the antivirus exclusion list.

We do not use malicious code that could directly or indirectly damage your data or equipment. LANVisor does not transmit any data to third-party servers.

How to hook up the remote control software?

It is very convenient to use your favorite remote control software by connecting it from the LANVisor to a remote computer with one click.

To do this, open the Edit Client dialog box using the F2 key or the "Edit" command from right-click menu, and change the command line of the remote control software.
For example, command line for the Ammyy software might look like this:

d:\downloads\AA_v3.exe -connect 77777777 -password 88888

where the "77777777" and "88888" - ID and the password of the remote Ammyy program, respectively.

For the TeamViewer software the command line might look like this:

c:\Program Files (x86)\TeamViewer\TeamViewer.exe -i 777777777 --Password 8888

The parameters for launching remote access programs can be found on the websites of the software developers.

After applying the settings, the remote control program can be called up by clicking the button on the toolbar of the client window, or with the Ctrl + Enter hotkeys.
