As the title suggests, whenever i download TortoiseSVN or something like it, it downloads a fake security program that wont let me run McAfee or Ad-Aware (which are both great and trusted programs,) and then sometimes even randomly shuts my computer off. I have a Windows 7, and i dont want this crap on my computer. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? the last time i was able to get SVN off by having to do a factory reset of my entire system. Does anyone know where else i could get things like Wiremod and Phx 3? please advise, thanks.
You sure you're downloading it from the official site?
ok, i am dowloading it from teh oficial site, and YES, mr homeless, McAfee IS trusted

You might want to scan your computer before you go do anything else.

The fantastic irony is that Internet Explorer also meets these credentials.
I don't use an anti-virus, it's not like your computer is constantly under attack. You must knowingly install viruses or browse lots of shitty porn websites to get one.

Flash exploits/etc.
Legitimate sites can be compromised without your knowing which can maliciously affect you.
Like when facepunch had that malicious shit a little while back.
This is why I always run noscript/adblock plus/flashblock. It gets rid of 99.9% of the annoying and dangerous stuff on the internet.
okay let me set some things straight.
1. i've never even heard of ad-aware which suggests that it's either crapware on the level or mycleanpc or a rogue (or i have my head stuck up my ass)
2. mcafee sucks, it's proven, go look at some antivirus benchmarks
3. what are commonly accepted are the best antiviruses are comodo, mse, and avast
4. phx and wiremod ruined garry's mod
