Ok, Corrine. Thank you for your help so far. :rose:

I will post here the whole error report in Viber, in case someone can help. Otherwise I will completely uninstall Viber from both, the computer and the phone.

The error report:

Found out the source of the problem!  ESET is blocking Viber.  See ESET Rebuffs Viber's #esetsucks Hashtag with Proof of Application's Silent Activity - Softpedia.

Read the article carefully and decide what you want to do.  Having read the article a second time myself, I wanted to draw your attention to a couple of key points:

QuoteNOD32 is not the only antivirus product that flags the desktop version of Viber as a potentially unwanted application. Clam AntiVirus and Dr. Web also mark it as a similar threat.

The reason the desktop version of Viber was identified by ESET and other vendors as a potentially unwanted application is because of the silent downloading and sending of statistics, as illustrated in the image in this Tweet by ESET:  https://twitter.com/esetglobal/status/545273531089817600

I was sure about this!!!!   :dance:

Anyway, I already uninstalled Viber from both, the computer and the phone. But today I read that I should reinstalled it to deactivate my account. So I did. Before, I turned off Eset's protection, to see what is going to happen. I got again the same error. So, I changed the compatibility mode (run for Windows XP), to enter the program and deactivate the account. I deactivated it and uninstalled it. Now I don't have Viber installed in any of my devices. I don't know what really caused the problem, but I can do my job with Skype.

Thanks, as always! :rose:
