Thanks, it says to do so only temporarily, but still a good point. Of course, remember to reinstall ASAP.jedishrfu said:This page says if you encounter any problems with anaconda install on windows then disable the virus scanner (scary to me) and try again:

It may be that the virus scanner flagged some key file and wouldn't let it get installed.

lol. These aren't the safe applications you're looking for.jedishrfu said:The old jedi mind trick trick.

But if the source is trustworthy?Borg said:Just what a virus needs.
Even a trustworthy source could have a virus. Software should never be telling you to disable your virus scanner. If so, it's either a virus or they don't know what they're doing. I wouldn't trust either scenario.WWGD said:But if the source is trustworthy?
There's no simple way of detecting all viruses like that. Each virus has it's own way of infiltrating a system.WWGD said:Do you know a way of using SysInternals/Process Explorer to detect a virus? I have been trying for a while, following online instructions without success.

If you set a system restore point right before doing all of this, and you did happen to mess up... could that undo the changes you made ?Routaran said:If you mess up and set deny permissions on a valid system file, you will kill windows. Unless you keep a record of your changes so you can undo them, you will end up having to wipe your computer to fix the problem.
No, system restore backs up portions of your windows registry. It does not affect your file system.OCR said:If you set a system restore point right before doing all of this, and you did happen to mess up... could that undo the changes you made ?
I know you'd still have the malicious software, but would a system restore operation even run, or work... at all ?
