My anti virus program sometimes reports a Trojan or virus in my download
It has been noted that some anti virus programs (particularly Sophos) will falsely report the presence of a Trojan or virus in a downloaded script file - usually the Psyme-R trojan.
As a result of locking our scripts, quite often the anti virus program is unable to 'look' inside the zip file and will only see a proportion of what is there. In this scenario it is possible that an anti virus program will report a 'false positive'.
Please be assured that any files downloaded from this site do not contain any viruses or trojans. All downloads are checked frequently and are certified virus free. You can cross check a downloaded script file by downloading one of the many free anti virus programs available such as AVG, Free AV or PC-cillin etc.
To be sure that your PC is not infected with a virus or trojan, we recommend that you update your anti virus software regularly and perform regular scans of your system.

Internet Explorer is blocking access to the script help file
If you are running Internet Explorer 6 with XP service pack 2 installed it may prevent access to the help file for a script.
This is because our help files are sometimes encoded to prevent the value of the link removal buy now button being changed. Internet Explorer may display the following error message 'To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options...'.
If you see this error message you may safely allow Internet Explorer to open the file. We guarantee that there is no active content included within the file except for normal outbound links back to the Liquid Frog website. No information is collected from your PC at any time for any reason.

How do I chmod a file or folder
Chmodding describes the process of changing the access permissions on either a file or folder on your webserver.
Generally carried out to allow a script to write data in/to that file or folder, it is quite often necessary to change access permissions to allow a script to work.
Ordinarily this will be done via your FTP client. Connect to your site in the normal way and display the files and directories. Select the file or directory who's permissions you need to change.
From here on it depends which FTP client you use as to how you will modify (or chmod) the permissions. It's fairly safe to say that most FTP clients will allow you to right click and select a menu option.
You will be looking for something like 'Permissions', 'Actions', 'FTP Commands' or something similar. Selecting this menu option should then present you with the current settings for that file or directory. Take a good look at the option screen. Does it show a series of numbers like 755 or 644? If so, simply type in the number you require to change the permissions. For example, if you wanted to chmod a folder to 777 and its' current setting was 755, just overtype the 755 with 777 and click on 'Save', 'Ok' or whatever button you have.
Some FTP clients will want you to enter or remove ticks from boxes to set permissions. Usually it will show you the current permissions and, as you add or remove ticks, the permissions status will change to reflect the permissions you are currently setting.
You are probably going to want to chmod to 777 most often and this is very easy. Where you have tick boxes, just tick them all. For your reference: What you are actually changing is who can have what type of access to the file or folder and it is set by Owner, Group or All users with each having three options. Read, Write and Execute. It is the combination of those selected that gives the numerical value. You probably don't need to know what each is providing your site hosts have secured your server correctly and it is usually only necessary to know what you need to change it to.
