Torrents aren't safe. You never know if hackers are inserting their backdoors and malware into the application installer.

Also you cannot run more than one antivirus.

Do you use Vista or XP ? In Vista, you can ask task manager to display the 'command line' column to show the folder where this PMB.exe resides.
