The MW:O system profiler that you can download from your Profile page is blocked by my Antivirus suite, most likely because it's meant to scan your computer's "private parts."

I had to disable my Norton antivirus because it automatically deleted the program when I first downloaded it.

I ran the program, copied the data, pasted it in my Beta profile, and then re-enabled my antivirus.

It is reputation based since it's a brand-new application.
There is a way to undo the reputation based quarantine.

Assuming something like Norton AV or Norton IS 19.x (2012)
You will have either want to bring up the Norton Insight card by clicking "Details" when the little popup appears.

Then head down to #6 below:

or find the item in the "Recent History" or "Quarantine" logs by following these steps:
1- Launch main Norton User Interface.

2- Click Advanced

3- Click History

4- In new dialog box, Pull down drop down menu and select "Recent History" or "Quarantine" from the list.
5- Scroll down until you find the profiler: "systemprofiler_enca.exe"

6- New dialog box appears (File Insight). Verify that it's the file you downloaded from mwomercs.com rather than some other location.

7- Click on "Options."

8- Click on "Restore"

Same issue for me. I disabled my AV, ran the profiler, then enabled the AV. All is good.

I bet after a few thousand more people run it, it'll get a better reputation.

A lot of security software may block this.
It's an unknown exe that has to query system info.

That's what you get for running Norton AV.

Microsoft Security Essentials gave me the same problem, just ran it anyways though and it worked like a charm.

I too had that problem, but I was able to bypass it by downloading to a USB, and running it off the USB. Simply Right-click, "Save As", and choose the USB as your destination folder. It runs fine after that.

Ok, I've discovered that Norton's is not my issue. I'm getting: Net Framework Initialization Error --- Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application. Any ideas?

Which one?
If the .Net Framework didn't help, maybe this will? It requieres some work on your part, but at least you will get your data uploaded.
