I installed the spyware but everytime I click on the icon
to start it up & get a install wizard trying to start install CD creator 5. Which I had been trying to install about a month earlier but not recently. (I cant install the cd creator because I dont have the right cd for it, i just have the cd that came with my computer). I tried unstalling the spyware & downloading it again in a different folder & reinstalling & the same thing still happens. I can get past the install wizard by keep clicking cancel. but how to I stop it from keep popping up? does the spyware want the CD creator installed for some reason?? thanks cindy |

This is a snafu with the Windows Installer. I would recommend downloading
the Installer cleanup tool: http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;290301 And cleaning traces of CD creator 5, if it is listed by the tool. The other way to fix this kind of issue is to do a complete install of whatever it is bugging you about, and then uninstall it--that'd be a pain with CD Creator, so I hope it'll be listed by the cleanup tool. -- FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.txt "Cinder" <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1f8701c5019a$cdd4bdb0$a601280a@phx.gbl... >I installed the spyware but everytime I click on the icon > to start it up & get a install wizard trying to start > install CD creator 5.
