I'm being constantly bedevilled, since about a month after
installing the current release of Google Earth, by AV
warnings (from ZoneAlarm) as follows:
Setup Launcher is trying to launch
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe,
or use another program to gain access to
privileged resources.
Application: GOOGLEEARTH.EXE
The Google Earth forum, which has a high volume, hasn't so
far yielded any hints about this behavior. Googling msiexec
hasn't either, although there are occurrences of warnings that
this service is itself malevolent (hardly seems likely) and that
viruses affecting it exist (no virus warnings lately). I've been
denying the requested access, but requests come at least
daily.
I don't expect people here to give advice about Google Earth
internals, of course, but would be interested to hear about
similar experiences and their outcomes.
Thanks.
