 Replying to [comment:7 justmeee]:
 > First, with those files triggered by the virus program, should I let it
 delete them, or restore and "trust" them?

 happened before for your next builds.

 I don't know what you should do as I don't know why those got flagged.

 > As for the install issue, even the torbrowser alpha file from the link
 you gave me that did successfully install never gave any sort of
 confirmation, the dialog box just disappeared.  So that seems like a bug
 too, not knowing if it installed, if it's done, was it successful.. It
 just disappears, no confirmation at all.  That was why I tried installing
 it twice in two different locations in the first place hence the double
 popup from virus protection on one of the files.

 > I did try installing that firefox, it would not install.  I did not get
 any error messages either.  After I clicked on the exe, I get the open
 file dialog box and clicked run, which I got on those other torbrowser
 files with the error messages as well.  Then it extracted, which I think
 also happened on those other files but not too sure.  Them nothing.  The
 only difference is on the torbrowser I would see the popup at this point
 about it needing Windows 7 installed, but on the Firefox it just doesn't
 do anything at all after that, the boxes just disappear and nothing is
 installed.  I put 'firefox' in the windows search box to see if it did
 install and just didn't give me any confirmation dialogs like the
 torbrowser I mentioned before, but nothing shows up on the computer except
 the one that came with torbrowser, so firefox did not install either.

 > The other question and/or item to look into, is there a way to confirm
 if you're in private browsing mode while browsing?

 Tor Browser is starting by default and always in private browsing mode.
 Thus, if we don't change any settings you are fine.

 It seems your hangs are gone with the 64bit version. Closing as WORKSFORME
 then.
