Im new so i hope im posting in the right area! if not! sorry, ok ive noticed just recently in ZA and PG that theres a new program > _instLSB.exe thats showing up in both programs and for the life of me, i cant find out what it is. Can anyone shed light on it..Thankyou heaps...
Hi, TraCKs If you Google _instLSB.exe it goes a German [de] WinXP Software Web site, of which I can not understand. Take Care, TheQuest
Hi, TraCKs Very!, Have you install anything of that name, do a search of your system for it, sorry I can not be of more help. Take Care, TheQuest
its in the prefetch folder i have a idea it might have something to do with a antispyware or trojan program! . ive scanned with adaware/ S&D/Ewido/pest patrol/ you name ive used it.. thinking that if it was a nasty 1 of them would of picked it up , i just hate seeing a program that i hadnt seemed to of noticed before, and especially this cause it has a underscore at the beginning od its name....
Hi, Older versions of InstallShield installer use a filename similar to that format _instXXX.exe. It could be a different installer, but I would say its a temp file that has got there from running an installer in Learning Mode. You should remove these from the protection and security lists If you can't find the file on your machine, then thats almost certainly the reason
Prefetch folder ? that would be the .PF version which is not actually of any use at all... Windows created the .PF one when you ran the installer file
yes gavin it was a temp file... would it be ok to remove it from prefetch folder as well... when i checked it out in the prefetch folder it was _instLSB.exe-346ABB47.pf oops thanks mate i posted this before i seen ur above post...
Don't be concerned with the Prefetch folder. Prefetch does it's thing about every 3 days. (unless you run something like SETI)
im sure ken, in another forum i seen advice given to someone about deleting everything in there prefetch folder! in relation to another problem, would that of been right? Or could that cause havock.
