Tries to Install Quickbooks ..

[Joe Wood]

Strangest thing happens now when I click on SW Blaster. A Windows Installer pops up and tries to install Quickbooks! I did download QBooks Pro about a year ago but never installed it.

Anyone know why all of a suden this is happening??

Hello Joe Wood

Can you give some info on your operating system? Is it currently up to date?

[Joe Wood]

Oh shoot Ronjor, forgot that!

I'm on Win XP Home with SP 2. What do you mean by Is it up to date?

[Joe Wood]

Hhmmm ... I had that problem 5 or 6 times just before I posted. Each time the Installer would come up.

I just went and tried it again (clicking on SWBlaster) and this time, it didn't start the Win Installer, so, maybe my problem has gone away.

strange

Is this anything I should worry about?

I meant do you keep XP updated with all the latest "hotfixes"? :)
I would suggest reading this: Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility (http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;290301) It's an option you can try or you can wait for more suggestions.

[Joe Wood]

Oh yea, I do keep it updated, with all the Critical Updates, and most of the other ones.

I'll go checkout that Utility you posted!

Appreciate the help!

Hhmmm again. I just ran Pest Patrol and it found this, and went ahead and deleted it.
