Adobe Acrobat 7 kept being installed even though I had a fully
functional program so the installation kept failing but it tried again
and again. So after weeks I uninstalled the windows installation
program. Things got worse because windows kept trying to install and
when it failed it tried again and again tying up the computer.

So I went into task manager and looked at processes and it turned out
agent.exe was tying up the computer and its activity mirrored the
attempts at installation. I googled agent.exe and saw it was something
identified as a Trojan or virus. There are good program that use the
name agent.exe so just having agent.exe running doesn't mean you have
a problem.

Ad ware said they could get rid of agent.exe if I paid for their
software. I paid and downloaded the program but nothing changed. I
want to Norton expecting to use their paid chat. I couldn't use it
because I uninstalled installed (no pun intended) So I downloaded and
reinstalled install. Right away adobe and windvd started to be
installed. I rebooted after I rebooted the first thing windows did was
try to install windvd. I went into task manager and closed the
install program and then I went into process and closed agent.exe.
After that the problem stopped.

u need to continue with
your questions on the
previous threads you
created recently on this
subject.......
