Try running the exe file as admin (right mouse on it select run as admin). Did you install any other anti program as well?

no id didnt install any and o tried it but the avira folder cant be deleted because it is locked and i need permission

 

[Paul NZ]

Try it in safe mode

If safe mode doesn't work, you can always try using a restore point from before you installed Avira. It's probably only a good option if you recently installed it, and decided it wasn't a good fit, but it's something to consider as an option.

Personally, I've not had this problem.

Unlocker 1.9.2

I would be careful with filehippo they're starting to inc malware in the downloads. The same as cnet and download.com

I always go to the source for my downloads. Even then, I'm leery to actually download a majority of software that hasn't been widely approved of by various sites I trust. But, that's a personal thing.

If the OP wants to download it from the source, here's their webpage

Last time I tried unlocker it locked the system up. I think theres something wrong with that site

Well, I had an interesting thing happen to me when I tried to download the program via the creator's webpage...

Ironically, someone recommended this software in the security thread, and Chrome blocks it as malicious (well, I'm currently using Iron, which is a modified Chrome). I found that worth a chuckle. I was only going to download it so I could scan it with Comodo in the first place; so I went to FileHippo, and had no problem downloading from there. Comodo came up with absolutely nothing on it, but VirusTotal came up with 6/55 positive hits for it being positive/harmful. The community also votes it more negatively than positively. Check the link for yourself.

If I were considering using it, I'd see both the negative results from Iron/Chrome, and the votes from VT, and pass on installing it. If you want to install it, sandbox the install to be on the safer side of things. Personally, I'd look around for other, less potentially harmful options. Then again, I don't trust software very easily.

Sounds exactly what it did to me. I think FF stopped it from downloading. So tried IE. That was fine

But while it was in the download folder here I didnt install it, but the system started to act strange.

Its like bluescreenview. Havent been to that site for a while now. But cant now its dead.

If I knew how to read the broken down view of an exe file, I'd take a look and see what is going on. Unfortunately, I'm not that good.
