Windows Installer appears when right-clicking

Asked By Beatricez 0 points N/A Posted on - 07/22/2011

Willing to share case on my laptop when right click a file, copy or even when going to delete windows installer always comes up and directly setup process goes . Setup is running always bring up the "Adobe Acrobat installer".

• I've tried to uninstall Adobe Acrobat and his success, but when the restart is still the same.
• I've tried to virus scan using NOD32 (update 18-04-11) and smadav8. 4 and still same results.
• Rekan2 is anyone aware whether this is a virus, Malware or the like?

And how to overcome it because even if ultimately we can copy, or delete a file is still severely hampered when we use a laptop.

Windows Installer appears when right-clicking

This is the sign you should look for on the task bar right corner. This is an icon for Acrobat update and does not get un-installed when it is running. It starts with the start up activity of the machine. So it appears even when you un-install Acrobat.

Right click on the icon and disable it as shown in the figure.

This will switch it off for the session.

Go to Start > Programs > Startup > Camera and Card reader.

Then uncheck both options shown in figure.

Un-checking the auto launch option will solve your problem.

Thanks.
