unexpected msiexec.exe being run in Windows XP desktop after boot up.
whenever I launch IE or when my windows desktop is started up, I am seeing a windows installer dialog box being popped up and prepare for install.
I have run malwarebyte and my AV has the latest. Is there something I could do?
Please advise. Many thanks.

Download procmon from sysinternals. Run it, click the identify button, click the popup installer window. It should allow you to track down the cause.
I would download a fresh copy of Malwarebytes - (using the "Save As" function) and do the scans in the order shown in these EE Articles:

Does it mention what program is trying to install there? If so, get the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility to remove it.
