Looks to me like a false warning, as Adware.Rabio is a BHO and 3DGS installs nothing like this. You should report the file to PC Ware for checking, so that they can update their definition files.
Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.

Thank you much Quadraxas good to heasr from ya. Yea it downloads fine, the install executable seems to be fine. The glitch only happens on the install. I will install on a computer that is not so important and not on the network and see what happens. I definitely won't uninstall then. Edit Note: the uninstall.exe file is not in the previous install directory from 7.10, there is only an uninstall.txt file.

Well that was fun  I thank you Quadraxas for identifying the file that was infected. First I had to unplug a computer out of the network with no internet access. Then I had to turn off my copy of Spyware Doctor with Anti-Virus so it would get past the uuninstall.exe file in the install process. After the install of 7.50 was complete I turned Spyware Doctor with Anti-Virus back on and proceeded to do a custom scan of the C:\Program Files\GStudio7\ directory along with a scan of the registry etc. Here's is the result after the install: After removing the infection(s) I then was told to reboot. Note: I edited my Start Menu All Programs entry to get rid of the uninstall.exe as it no longer exists. Then I rebooted and had the new version of 3DGS. Does anyone find this to be extreme?

Gamestudio setups are thoroughly checked and won't contain something that's bad for you. ATOMIX: adware is a program that automatically downloads advertisements to a PC. Don't confuse this with a virus: unlike viruses, if there were adware in Gamestudio it had to be intentionally implemented by us. So when shocked by an adware alert, look under "Beta". As long as you can't find an entry like "The engine now automatically displays highly useful purchase information in regular intervals", you can safely click "Allow".  Nevertheless you should notify the manufacturer of your adware program about false alerts, and you can send him the uninstaller for testing.
