    Has anyone had any problems with the installers from the good doctor's website. I have been trying to install the demo version but vista keeps telling me there is something wrong with the program and then begins to shut it down. I have tried re-downloading it several times but still no go. Also I noticed that when it gets around 97% completion of download it will pause for several seconds before finishing.

    Unless I' am reading this wrong under system requirements:

    A computer running Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/Vista (32-bit architecture only)

    Mabye it's something that you've done to your system that is causing this.
    I remember back in the day I would mess with the system or use certain programs which would cause errors similar to yours to happen.

    I've run DrWeb on my Vista system a while ago with no problems what so ever.

    this forum is biased!
    maybe?

    its a certainty!

    drweb IS Vista Compatible, and ive never had a problem with installation/un-installation in countless tries on different machines.

    i suggest he checks out his machine, clean his temp and try once again.

    Thanks for all of your replies, I just found out what was causing the problem. I had to right click and under the general tab at the bottom there is a security area that reads "This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer". Next to it is the unblock button. I have not unblocked yet but wanted to ask CSJ or anyone if they had unblock Dr.Web's exe files before you could install it.

    I unblocked it tried to install and still the same error. I the only other security program I have is outpost pro, I have never came across this problem before! I just took another look at it and UAC says it is an unidentified program, I wonder if this is causing the problem.

    Update: I re-downloaded the 4.44 and now UAC has identified it correctly and I am off to reboot!

    Try shutting down completely Outpost Pro, or try installing in safe mode. Also since you're using Vista, right click on the installer and "Run as administrator".
