Important message from the steekUP team
November 30, 2007
The AVG antivirus technical support department just informed us that
one of its recent automatic updates triggered a faulty virus detection
on the “libcurl.dll” file in use for the st software (Update
N°269.16.10 released on November 28 2007).
The last update for the AVG 7.5 antivirus software (N°269.16.10/1160 - November 30 2007) solves this faulty detection.
In the case you encountered this false virus detection, indicating
the “libcurl.dll” file as contaminated by the NTW2434 virus, please
follow the following steps to get your steekUP software running back
again :
Plase make sure that you have upgraded your AVG antivirus software
with the last update (right click on the AVG icon that appears on the
system tray, and select “Check for updates”).
1 - Either the “libcurl.dll” file has already been placed in the virus vault :
- open the AVG virus vault (System tray –> Right click on the AVG icon –> Launch AVG Test Center –> Virus vault)
- Select the “libcurl.dll” file.
- Right click on the file > Restore File(s)
2 - If the file has already been healed by AVG 7.5 :
Please uninstall the steekUP software and run a new setup.
You can download the last setup for your software here : http://www.steekup.com/installer/steekUP_setup.exe
Please accept our apologies for the disturbance.
Best regards.

SteekUP In Macworld
November 7, 2007
SteekUP is reviewed by Macworld in their Easy online backups
article from Nov 6th, by Joe Kissell.
> You know you should back up your data. But whether it’s the cost, the setup, or the hassle of swapping discs or shuttling around hard drives, most of us find a million excuses not to get the job done. So wouldn’t it be great if you could click on a few buttons and ensure that your data was backed up regularly? Thanks to a new breed of online services, it’s possible to copy files over the Internet easily and affordably, keeping your data secure at an off-site location.
> …
> I think the best option is a service that includes its own backup
software. Since everything is integrated, such a system is easier to
set up and maintain. My favorites are CrashPlan, Mozy, and Steekup.
Thank you Macworld for the excellent article on the subject of online backup, one more in the recent wave of good press about SteekUP PC Expert (PDF), SVM, Micro Pratique and Windows Vista Magazine. Coming from Macworld, this means a lot for the handful of Mac-heads working on SteekUP.
