How does new activation system work?

New activation system will use now 20 digit serial number for all products .

That is if a machine is activated through online, it will not require reactivation permission if again same serial number gets activated on same machine.

Secondly, a copy can be activated 10 times in a network without reactivation permission, but updates will be continued to only one machine [serial number, installation number] at a time. If two machines have same Quick Heal Serial Number and are active, second machine will not receive the updates and get the message and warning also for this.

Minifilter Driver of Online ProtectionIn Quick Heal 2009, we have introduced

minifilter driver [catflt.sys] for Online Protection. This driver will work on Windows Filter Manager Service. The main advantage of this technique is that hanging problem and system slow down problems will be reduced. However this driver will be applicable only for

Windows 2000 SP4 with Update Rollback pack installed

Windows XP SP2 Windows 2003 SP2 Windows Vista. Windows 2008.

In case of Windows 2000 having SP4, Windows XP/2003 without SP, Quick Heal will be installed with Legacy drivers of Online Protection.

Note: Minifilter drivers are based on Microsoft Filter Manager Service [ Fltmgr.sys ]. This service is not visible using services.msc. It can be seen in registry at

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Fltmgr.

Further, this service of Windows gets installed only when respective SP for respective OS are installed. If this service is installed following command will work and will display the status of Quick Heal’s Online Protection Driver. Command is: fltmc

Henceforth Quick Heal 2009 will not be compatible to Windows98/ME/NT4.0.

Suggest the Win98/ME/NT4.0 users to upgrade to some another O.S.
