Spywareblaster .exe Problem

[Luckyboy1]

When I go to start up my Spywareblaster, it first tries to start installing Publisher 2002. What's up with that?

It wants you to publish Luckyboy's Guide... what else? - seriously - do a virus check

This can be caused by an installer leaving things lying around in the temp folder. Get Crapcleaner, that will clear all the 'crap out'

Nice Utility Snoopy Thanks! I'll run that a lot
Didn't know ZoneAlarm Security Suite left that much behind with all security and privacy settings on highest
It found 2500 seconds+ of crap to clean on first run

Cleaner didn't work and I even tried uninstalling and re-installing the spywareblaster and got the same result.

It's the pukka Microsoft Windows Installer Clean-up utility, not often advertised...wonder why not

Here's a little snip of the readme

README FOR WINDOWS INSTALLER CLEAN UP UTILITY
DECEMBER 2003

WHAT IS THE WINDOWS INSTALLER CLEAN UP UTILITY?
The Windows Installer Clean Up Utility is designed to allow you to safely remove Windows Installer settings from your computer in the event of a problem. Although the Windows Installer is designed to be very robust, it is possible for Windows Installer to become damaged if:

- Your computer's registry becomes corrupt
- You or someone else inadvertantly changes a registry setting used by the Windows Installer, resulting in a problem
- The installation of a program that uses Windows Installer (for example, Microsoft Office 2000) is interrupted
- There are multiple instances of Setup running simultaneously, or an instance of Setup is "blocked"

That did it Willy and thanks! It also took out my MSN Messenger 7.5, but that was easy enough to download and install again.

Glad to hear it helped
