Guest PL Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Hi I have problem installing a genuine version of a CD on XP. What's the difference between Modified versus Full installination of the CD? I chose Full but each time until about 96% of the installination process, the Resident Shield alert of my PC will pop up with the following Potentially Unwanted Program Threat name: Adware Generic VRD Options: Move to Vault, Ignore, Exceptions, Cancel Which option shall I select to install the program? Thank you

Use the modified or custom install so you can choose what you want to install rather than just going for the "full" install. Alias

That's important information. Your security program is saying that the Mystery Program is trying to install adware (spyware) and preventing the install. It's doing its job. If you know the program has adware and you are willing to live with that to run the program, then install with your antivirus off and afterwards make an exclusion for the program. This is not something I would recommend. It would be better to find another program that does what you want without putting cr*p on your computer. It's your choice, of course.
