Avast Blocks Installation Of Divx 10. Help Please?

In attempting to install DivX 10, Avast sounded a virus or malicious file warning and blocked the installation.

The file is required by a popular free movie site that was recommended by friends.

I may have my security set to high but I don't know how to change those settings.

TIA

SOLVED!

DivX 10 Support provided a stand alone installer which seems to have solved the problem. At least it plays nice with Avast. Haven't actually tried a movie yet. We'll see!

Thanks, dr moriarty

NOT RESOLVED!

It appears that the stand alone installer did, in fact, install DivX 10 but the display only shows a dim, faded DivX 10 logo in the small display. Must I have a video loaded?

I don't know how to move it and the jury is still deliberating as to cause.

 

This thread started as a suspected malware alert. I will run your links to be certain. Thank you.

 

Thanks,

I got DivX 10 installed (after several attempts) and I'm now squattin' in your basic tall cotton. You are welcome to move this thread if you don't think it would benefit others. I honestly don't know what caused the install problem but the alternate installer finally succeeded.

Where do I insert my dime?

No joy!

 

Original problem persists - frustrated - ticked - miffed - perturbed - upset - angry - torqued - disappointed - dumb - revolting - stupid - imbecilic - etc.

 

Hanged after about 15 minutes.

 

Thanks,

I'll try again now. I believe I got an error code they may want, not sure. It took a long time (15+ minutes) of no screen activity before error code appeared.

I guess this is progress, I get to a new screen on the movie site before it locked up.

When Edison was asked about progress on his light bulb he said: "Progress? Yes, we now know thousands of things that WON'T work!"
