    Search settings 1.2
    I get dialog boxes telling me to install this application. I can't remove it and it keeps on popping up. What's with this? Is it Malware, a virus? Or should I allow it to download. Please advise! Thanks guys, Tom

    See *this* is a good time to ask, *before* you click "Yes". If only more people did that.
    It is malware. Try Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

    Hmmmm... it's possible that it may not be malware but a failed installation:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility

    In that link there is a download for an installer cleanup program. Run that then reboot and try a Windows Update.

    It's Malware. Complaints are coming in from all over the internet. It will not delete from add-or- delete programs. Any ideas? Cheers, Tom
    I removed it from my system by restoring my computer back two weeks. All gone now! Thanks Karma,

    Download and install the superanti spyware and update your anti virus.
    Boot your computer in the safe mode and try to scan with anti spyware and anti virus.
    And boot your computer in the normal mode and if still comes them let me know...
