Looking for RVX-I, CBOE Russell 2000 Volatility Index & SKEWX-I, CBOE Volatility EOD Skew data?

RVX-I description CBOE Russell 2000 Volatility Index

The CBOE Russell 2000 Volatility IndexSM (RVXSM) is a key measure of market expectations of near-term volatility conveyed by Russell 2000® stock index option prices. It measures the market’s expectation of 30-day volatility implicit in the prices of near-term Russell 2000 options. RVX is quoted in percentage points, just like the standard deviation of a rate of return, e.g. 19.36. CBOE disseminates the RVX index value continuously during trading hours. The RVX Index is a leading barometer of investor sentiment and market volatility relating to the Russell 2000 Index.

SKEWX-I description CBOE Volatility EOD Skew

The CBOE Skew Index attempts to measure tail risks — the probability of a sharp decline of two or more standard deviations on a 30-day log return basis — of the S&P 500. The index is derived from the prices of S&P 500 options, which are also used to calculate the widely quoted VIX index, which tracks volatility.

The CBOE Skew IndexSM – referred to as “SKEW” – is an option-based indicator that
measures the perceived tail risk of the distribution of S&P 500® log returns at a 30-
day horizon. Tail risk is the risk associated with an increase in the probability of
outlier returns, returns two or more standard deviations below the mean. Think stock
market crash, or black swan. This probability is negligible for a normal distribution,
but can be significant for distributions which are skewed and have fat tails.

Thank you for your continued support.

The last update of 2012 Kaspersky Antivirus software deletes the file adjust.exe from your UA folder listing it as a virus. The file is clean, Kaspersky was notified of the false positive and are correcting the issue on their end. Once corrected they will issue an update which will remove the file adjust.exe from the active virus/malware list stopping the file from deletion upon install. The update will download automatically if your software is set to automatically update its virus definition database. This only effects Kaspersky Anti Virus users, no other Anti Virus vendor shows the file adjust.exe as a virus or malware.

A quick work around is to create an exclusion list stopping the file from being removed from your system. the instructions to do so can be found here:
http://support.kaspersky.com/win_server6mp4/oas?qid=208280716

The basics are below:

How to create an exclusion rule
In order to create an exclusion rule:

Open application settings window.

Select Protection on the left.

Click the Trusted Zone button in the Exclusions block.

Go to the tab Exclusion rules and click Add.

Select an exclusion type in the Properties field: Object and/or Threat type.
Object

Click select object and choose a file, folder or a mask to exclude.

Select a Component in the corresponding field. The rule will apply to the selected component.

Threat type

Click enter threat type to select a file, folder or a mask to exclude.

Select a Component in the corresponding field. The rule will apply to the selected component.
Rules can apply to the following protection components:

Virus scan,
File Anti-Virus,
Mail Anti-Virus (Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Workstations 6.0.4.x only),
Proactive Defense (Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Workstations 6.0.4.x only),
Web Anti-Virus (Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Workstations 6.0.4.x only).

A scan if a disk or folder containing excluded objects scans the entire disk/folder except the excluded objects. Yet you can force scan excluded objects from the contextual menu (by right-clicking).

Also you can create an exclusion rule from within a report window:

Right-click the report object you want excluded.

Choose the option Add to Trusted Zone.

An Exclusion rule window will open. Make sure that you are satisfied with the new exclusion rule settings. Object name and threat type fields are assigned automatically on the basis of the report data. Click OK to create the rule.
