Can't run Metasploit GUI

[Neo.X at web.de (Florian Roth)]

Try to:

- Uninstall
- Deactivate your Antivirus
- Install
- Launch

Try to add the two directories to an exception list in your AV product:

- Program directory (where it is installed)
- C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\.msf (?)
