Q-30: The WinPcap installation fails with the error message "An error occurred while installing the NPF driver ( -1 ). Please contact the WinPcap team". A: This error is usually caused by an antivirus or antimalware software that incorrectly detects the WinPcap kernel driver (NPF) as malware. This is because in the past some malware tools have been developed over the WinPcap library. The workaround is to disable such antivirus/antimalware programs while installing WinPcap. Michael D.
