Antivirus software also quarantines LifeKeeper and DataKeeper executables causing LifeKeeper and DataKeeper not to run properly.

- For SPS C:\LK\* directory (or whatever folder LifeKeeper is installed in).

- For DataKeeper C:\Program Files (x86)\SIOS\DataKeeper\ directory (or whatever folder DataKeeper is installed in).

- The bitmap file location (by default on the c: drive but it may be relocated – C:\Program Files (x86)\SIOS\DataKeeper\Bitmaps).
