Root Help with root *SOLVED*

Hey all, I'm new here and just had a question. I'm trying to root my Samsung Epic 4g, and have some problems.

I've tried the One Click Root, and I get up to the point where I have the right drivers, and the device is recognized *using "adb devices"*, and it's in USB debug mode.

BUT. I get a problem "rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin is missing. Make sure you extracted the zip archive correctly."

followed by "Root succeeded but cleanup failed. Manually remove files in /data/local/tmp

What should I do?

thanks.jpg
 
For clarification, which one-click are you using (provide a link to where you got it at)?
 
Also make sure you have your anti-virus off. Technically, rageagainstthecage IS a virus but is just used to crack the android system open.

If needed, try downloading the zip again and extracting it again.

I am using Bitdefender, so I cannot turn it off completely, but I turned off as much as I could, and then my firewall.

Still, it is giving me the same errors.

I just looked at another tutorial, and it has a 3.0.0.6.... should I try that instead?
*[MOD][One Click Root] Clockwork Mod version 3.0.0.5/6 - UPDATED FOR EB13! - xda-developers *

EDIT:
I just uninstalled my anti-virus *for the time being*, so i know for sure it is not being blocked by anything.

SEDIT:
I just re-downloaded after uninstalling my anti-virus, and it's now rooting. thanks for the help! Leaving this up for those who have this problem.
