So, I uploaded to Tiger this morning and all was well untill I tried to open Virex. When I opened it I was prompted with the following message:

The Health Check component is not responding. Please restart or re-install.

Does anyone know what's wrong?

Thanks...

You'll need to upgrade to 7.6 or 7.7.
