My son downloaded a pirate copy of Game Maker and it
keeps trying to install everytime I log on. I've even
let it install at startup and it still keeps trying to
install. Anyone know the file extension for this type of
program so I can kill it off?
 
Sounds like the installer program is in the Startup folder in the Start
Menu. Click the Start button -> Programs, and right-click the Startup folder
and click to Explore. Look for anything that may resemble the program that's
attempting to install itself and delete the shortcut. That will stop the
program from restarting each time Windows boots up.
