OSX Lion & Brother Scanner DSmobile 600 will not install driver

OSX Lion 10.7.2

Hardware: Brother DSmobile 600 (USB)

Software Driver: DSmobile600_Mac_1_2_4.dmg (OSX 10.6-10.7)

Scanner driver does not install - Scanner does not work

Procedure

Launch the Brother installer - goes through install procedure - forces a required restart

looked in BotherScanner folder - nothing there

Apparently the installer is not actually installing anything except the folder

Looked at the installer content - cannot see anything to install

Do not have the driver form the old OSX

The Brother DSmobile USB scanner did work in OSX6

Any solutions?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

I discovered the asnwer to my own question for the benifit of anyone else.

Turn off all anti-virus software!

If you disable any installed security virus /network software etc., download the latest brother DS600 scanner dirver. the Brother scanning driver will install.

however you may have to run any repair software you have afterwards. e.g. Tech Tool Pro 6 and Cocktail.

The Brother DS600 scannr driver install is kind of rough.

The Brother DS600 Mobile scanner does work in Lion 10.7.2

In addition, the Brother DS600 mobile scanner driver installs in WIN 7. Same scenario turn off all anti-virus software before install. works
