Installing Software problem..

Hobo_man · 12-17-2005, 09:19 PM

Hi, I'm trying to install "System Mechanic 6 Professional", but everytime I try, the temporary files it uses are infected with viruses. My antivirus program blocked all the viruses in the .tmp files when I'm installing it. I downloaded the .exe directly from the creator's site (www.iolo.com) but it still has the same problem. It's weird because all the .tmp files are infected with viruses. It worked fine the first time I installed it until a week later when I started up my computer. My virus program found a virus and blocked it. I tried unistalling it then installing it again which is when I found this virus problem out. Then when I tried to delete the .tmp files of System mechanic, it says
"Cannot delete ..... Cannot read the source file or disk." And right after that, my antivirus program blocks the same virus from the file I tried to delete.

Is this a problem with my computer or is it the manufacturer's problem? Please help. Thanks.

It also could be the System Mechanic program. Try to uninstall it and then run the spyware program to check your computer.

Also which Antivirus software are you using?

If you using the crappy Antivirus program, then that could be your problem..
