Now if you are also using the Kaspersky and Windows 7 then what to do or are there any alternative.
So if we talk about any alternative then there are many which you can use to replace the default Photo Viewer, among which Irfan View or Picasa are the best. But if you really want to fix this problem then you should know what is causing the problem.
