    Whats up with that? Is this normal? I've already disinfected and rebooted; only to have alienrespawn ask to update. I updated and got the same problem. Any insight? Thanks

    I never encountered this issue but i would scan with some other antivirus, i use kaspersky too but just in case.
    Use bitdefender online scanner, it'll save you the hassle of installing etc. and it's free:

    I had problems with creating Alienrespawn media on the first day. The program gave fatal error at 15% of progress on every attempt. Had first create media, then install antivirus. But antivirus never gave warnings.

    edit: TrendMicro it is
