on opening programs the installation process starts for something called ergir.msi!
Suddenly when I start opening programs or open disk drives on my winxp pro desktop the installation process will start. I cancel it and i can then proceed to do what i started to do. all i can see on this is that there is a file called ergir.msi involved. I did a webroot spyware scan and get no errors. cant find anything on the internet for this either. anybody seen this?

I ran the prevx scan as indicated above, and no virus was found. Also ran webroot antivirus with spyware and found no virus.

Try the SuperAntiSpyware I recommended or LavaSoft Adaware or SpyBot Search & Destroy. All are free programs, and what one program misses, one of the others might catch. Meanwhile, have you done a search for this ergir.msi file on your hard drive? Or an entry for it in your registry?

Any update on this ? how is the situation now ?
i only found one entry in the registry with this program referenced - deleted, no good. I will try the spywares listed above and see if they find anything, and be back. thank you for continued help!
