1283337 2012-06-22 05:48:00 So, I downloaded Rkill as I think it is a nice program to have. I go to install it, and Avast block it. I then go into avast and exclude rkill from being sandboxed. It still won't work, so I disable Avast completely. However, when I go to install it, I now get an error message, and it won't install. What could be doing this? Nick G (16709)
1283338 2012-06-22 10:13:00 rkill is a "standalone" program so doesn't install. It is used only to stop computer processes that exhibit a certain behaviour. This then allows the cleaning program such as SuperAntispyware to actually run.
Avast will see rkill as a program that behaves like some Spyware but really doesn't matter as you only run rkill when you have an infection.

Ok, thanks for that. I guess that was why it wouldn't install then - no installation required.
