Each topic of your website is stored into a specific directory on your webspace and this TOWeb way of working can't be changed. The full path name of you web page is <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mywebsite.com/topic/index.html">http://www.mywebsite.com/topic/index.html</a> and what you may want to do is to rename the default names of your topic directory by giving them a more appropriated name like for instance by replacing "topic" with "home" for your website home page. To do this you need to click on the button named "Modify the directory and index file name of this topic". <br>And if you don't want any topic path to appear at all when visiting your website then you may use the following tip : select your homepage topic and from the "background music" tab simply check the option named "play a unique music for the entire website" without selecting any music. This way your website address will always stay <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mywebsite.com/">http://www.mywebsite.com/</a> and the paths of your topics will no longer be displayed. http://www.lauyan.com/en/tw-dysfct/index.html#bv000001 http://www.lauyan.com/en/tw-dysfct/index.html#bv000001 If TOWeb doesn't seem to work properly... If your antivirus detects a virus in the file "<b>site.xml</b> then it's likely to be a script that you added to your website. The "site.xml" file contains global data of your website and especially the <b>HTML scripts</b> you added and one of them is probably a <b>virus or spyware source code</b>. Be careful on the scripts you use for your website (particularly if they are free) and if you have any doubt about some scripts you use, try to delete them from TOWeb before to check with your antivirus that everything is now normal.<br><br>Otherwise, if a virus has been detected in another file than the "site.xml" file (like for instance the TOWeb.exe program file) then it either one the two following cases :<br><ul><li> you antivirus is making a mistake : antivirus use "heuristic" methods to identify a virus in a file and it may happen that such methods detect some "false positive" that's to say viruses where there are none,</li><li> you antivirus is correct and then the virus was present on your computer before you installed and used TOWeb. If such a case you need to permanently remove all viruses from your computer, before to uninstall and reinstall TOWeb by downloading it from our website.</li></ul> http://www.lauyan.com/en/tw-dysfct/index.html#virus http://www.lauyan.com/en/tw-dysfct/index.html#virus If TOWeb doesn't seem to work properly...
