The upload PHP file prints out an errorlog.txt file in the same directory as the PHP file. Can you tell me the output of this file? That may assist in letting us know the reason. Did you update your PHP.INI file to have max size to permit a 3.5M file?

Hi Jason, Thanks for the reply and the kind words. I've never used Kaspersky Antivirus. My Flash Guru, Zeh Fernando, said this: Truly odd, but I'm not too surprised. Kaspersky is one of the most touchy antiviruses out there, and it's quite frequent that it indicates certain executables that are perfectly legit are instead viruses (a false positive). This option to disallow uploads is probably some additional, advanced option - to disallow sending personal data or something. At least I hope so. I also did a quick search and found a number of others complaining about the same thing (ie. http://bit.ly/9N2cEs). This result shows some recommended code to fix the problem, however, would you mind posting your block of code in case other users are finding the same issue? Thank you.

Hi Don,

First, let me say that this is a great little application, and that we really love it.

I was just wondering, have you ever come across a problem with Kaspersky Antivirus blocking the uploads? (or come up with a work-around for it?)

I eventually had to add a little block of code to the uploader checking for a response from the server, and if it doesn’t receive this response (which is doesn’t if Kaspersky is installed), it displays a warning about Kaspersky’s proxy blocking file upload scripts.
