It did but just once but I didn't have a clue what the file was or how to open. Assumed it was a quirky download, deleted, and re-downloaded. The dialog box did not appear again even with multible retries.

My messages are being sent in doubles or triplicates and I get back messages, at times, in doubles and triplicates on both my laptop and desktop. Malwarebytes fixed the problem on my laptop (XP and Express mail) but doesn't find anything wrong on my Desktop. Desktop is Vista, Home, using just Microsoft Mail. Thoughts?

Found the problem. The problem is that CA's firewall has a glitch that converts malwarebytes downloads to a file which has an EFW extension (xxx.EFW). Solution - For a short moment turn OFF CA's firewall and the file correctly downloads and can be installed just fine. The solution was provided via another tech board for which, at the moment, I can' recall and I have already purged my history. The 2nd problem was that Malwarebytes did not solve my problem. That will be my next post. Thanks to All

No offense meant but I have not had very good experience with folks looking at HJT results and actually finding a solution. Most of the time the advice have been simply bad. The best advice I have gotten have come from folks who have had the identical problem. I am hoping that I will find someone here. Maybe, Maybe not.

I did have Anti-Malware on my PC but it crashed and I did a rebuild. I am using Vista and I can download the software but nothing happens when I try to install -- no error messages, etc. It just doesn't start. I disabled my Anti-Virus, closed Ex, and even closed my firewall, turned off the EAC and it still will not install. I read an earlier post and did rename the file TEXT.EXE and it still didn't kick. Any Suggestions other than Hijack This?
