    I'm trying to download Farbar recovery scan tool from the site you link to (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/farbar/FRST.exe). The first few times the download bombed out. Now when I try I get the message "This request is blocked by the SonicWALL Gateway Anti-Virus Service. Name: KillAV.NOP (Trojan)." (I use SonicWall.)

    Should I turn off the anti-virus? Or is there a problem with the Farbar download?

    The reason I am trying to download it is that one of my desktops is stuck in Microsoft startup-repair purgatory (Win 7), and I am trying to figure out next steps.

    Nevermind -- I was able to download the tool using another computer. Still don't know what the problem was, but it doesn't matter....

    Do you still require assistance?

    Not for this issue, thanks (I have a separate thread for the underlying issue).
