Hi,
I napologise in advance if I am the wrong thread but I cant work out how to start a new one being new to Mobileread.
I have also noticed Vs 3.0 changes. If I open a epub book with the e-viewer programme, it modifies the epub file and changes the modification date in the folder. It also caused Trend Max Security to come up with an alert when the book was closed (in short Ransomware - which was trying to change my file but Trend could not stop the file being changed) and indeed the date of modification would change to the current date/time. It gave me the choice of deleting the program (calibre e-viewer.exe) which I did but then I could not open any epub books with the viewer. Using the e-repair feature, (which replaced the calibre e-viewer.exe) did not help. Nor did uninstalling Calibre 3.0 and re-installing Calibre 2.83 except with the latter there was no message from Trend but the file date was still being modified. It does not happen with mobi and pdf files only epub. Trend Micro technical help assure me there is no Ransomeware but cant tell me why its is happening.
