Failed to execute admin command

This seems like an easy fix, but its not. Whenever I am trying to download everything using the installer (because CLI and .zips dont work) it gives an error message saying
Code: Select all
"Failed to execute admin command."
I can't see the details(show details button)
If I try to run it as admin, same thing happens. Troubleshooting? Same thing happens.
SYSINFO:
Windows 10, 86 bit, 400GB of free space, 2.93 GHZ, 4GB RAM

Your anti-virus is most likely blocking Everything from running from the temp folder.
Please try the portable version of Everything:
- Download the portable version of Everything.
- Extract Everything.exe to C:\Program Files\Everything
- Run Everything.exe
- If prompted with access denied, Select Install Everything Service and click OK.
- Set your desired installation options:
- In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the General tab.
- Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
- Click OK.

What does "dont work" mean?
(The CLI is using a running Everything.exe to get it's information, so that's probably the reason why thàt didn't work)
BTW: See also:
http://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7046 for more options to make it more similar to an Installer version. (If you succeed in installing the .zip, that is ...)

Please try C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe instead of C:\Program Files\Everything.exe

i
did.
malwarebytes uninstalled it as a virus, and malwarebytes has been gone.
i re-downloaded iobit advanced securitycare (because malwarebytes said on their blog that it wasn't a
threat) and I guess it worked from then.
