applescript - try

So I made this application to remove a known virus that comes with a cracked version of photoshop CS4, I personally don't have the virus myself. I was just making this tool based on integos press release.

Anyway I think my error is in the very first try, when it follows the error line down to the ok (quit) button, but the app continues t execute script further down causing unwanted dialogs

I would much appreciate any help on this concern, since this is my very first applescript!

Thank you!

Code:

set return_value to display dialog "Removing virus" with icon caution buttons {"Do it!", "No don't!", "Check manually"} default button 1 with title "Virus Remover"

set answer to button returned of return_value

if answer = "Do it!" then
	try
		try
			do shell script "rm /var/tmp/tmp.*" with administrator privileges
		on error
			try
				do shell script "rm /usr/bin/DivX*" with administrator privileges
			on error
				try
					do shell script "rm /System/Library/Startupitems/DivX*" with administrator privileges
				on error
					set return_value to display dialog "No virus found in subsequent directories!" with icon 2 buttons {"Ok"} default button 1 with title "Good!"
					
					set answer to button returned of return_value
					
					if answer = "Ok" then
						quit
					end if
				end try
			end try
		end try
		try
			do shell script "rm /usr/bin/DivX*" with administrator privileges
		on error
			try
				do shell script "rm /System/Library/Startupitems/DivX*" with administrator privileges
			on error
				set return_value to display dialog "Virus found and deleted in /var/tmp/ but none in subsequent directories" with icon 2 buttons {"Ok"} default button 1 with title "Partial success"
				set answer to button returned of return_value
				
				if answer = "Ok" then
					quit
				end if
			end try
		end try
		try
			do shell script "rm /System/Library/Startupitems/DivX*" with administrator privileges
		on error
			set return_value to display dialog "virus found and deleted in /var/tmp/ and /usr/bin but none in subsequent folders" with icon 2 buttons {"Ok"} default button 1 with title "Partial success"
			set answer to button returned of return_value
			
			if answer = "Ok" then
				quit
			end if
		end try
	on error
		set return_value to display dialog "Virus found and deleted in /var/tmp/, /usr/bin and /System/Library/Startupitems, you are safe for now!..." buttons {"Ok"} default button 1 with title "Success"
		set answer to button returned of return_value
		
		if answer = "Ok" then
			quit
		end if
	end try
else if answer = "Check manually" then
	do shell script "open /var/tmp"
	do shell script "open /usr/bin"
	do shell script "open /System/Library/Startupitems"
	set return_value to display dialog "In the folder /var/tmp/ the virus is an Unix executable (.exec) which name starts with tmp. then something random like: 0.4hs82h. In /usr/bin and /System/Library/Startupitems it is called 'DivX' that's sadly all I know" buttons {"Ok", "More Information"} default button 1 with title "Info"
	
	set answer to button returned of return_value
	
	if answer = "More Information" then
		tell application "Safari"
			open location "http://www.intego.com/news/ism0902.asp"
		end tell
	else
		quit
	end if
else
	quit
end if

edit, seems you would have to copy paste it into applescript editor to view it with markup.coloring....

 

stop/quit

should do the same, when i run the script from the editor i get an error telling me i cant quit while its running, but that would still normally stop it...while running as an app it just continues...

 

lol

yes i do and i don't care, it was simply the first thing i found that i could write an app for that wouldn't be completely useless, learning by doing so happens to be the way i learn.

 

Thanks

works perfectly thank you!
