    Problems with downloading / running

    - If you have problems to download the instalation file, check your antivirus settings (e.g. Symantec antivirus products (Norton 360, Norton Security and Symantec Endpoint Protection) might incorrectly identify the instalation file as suspicious (WS.Reputation.1 alert) and block the downloading and instalation process). Deactivate temporarily the protective function or contact the author to get an alternative way to download the instalation file.
    - Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Prerequisite is necessary for running Hyperfit application. If you do not have it installed yet, you should download the Redistributable Package (x86) from here or here (www.microsoft.com).
