Hello and :welcome:
 
Well lets see if we can locate what's causing it to launch or not.  I going to be going offline soon and will be busy most of tomorrow but will check back as soon as I can.
Perhaps others may be able to assist you if they can see for sure what's causing it.
 
 
Please run the following scanner and send back the logs.

Download DDS from one of the locations below and save to your Desktop
dds.scr
dds.com

Temporarily disable any script blocker if your Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware has it.
How To Temporarily Disable Your Anti-virus, Firewall And Anti-malware Programs

Once downloaded you can disconnect from the Internet and disable your Ant-Virus temporarily if needed.
Then double click dds.scr or dds.com to run the tool.
Click the Run button if prompted with an Open File - Security Warning dialog box.
A black DOS console should open and run for a moment.

  • When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
    • DDS.txt
    • Attach.txt
  • Save both reports to your desktop
  • Please include the following logs in your next reply as an attachment: DDS.txt and Attach.txt
  • You can ignore the note about zipping the Attach.txt file and just post it or attach it.

 

 

Then run the following

 

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

  • Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press Scan button.
  • It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please copy and paste it to your reply.
  • The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.


 

Thanks

If you really just want to block this one program from installing you may do so via Method 2 described on this page but be sure to backup your registry before doing so in case anything goes wrong. To block it, you'll need the name of the installer(s) for any software you wish to block and you can even take it a step further by blocking the program's executables by name (in case he figures out that he can rename the installer to get it to run/in case they change the name of their installer in a later release).

Yepper, local policies but that is for a Professional or Enterprise OS.  GPEdit.msc (aka; Group Policy Editor) is not available on "Home" flavours of MS OS'.

Yeah, that's why I said "Method 2". It works on all versions of Windows (and can be applied to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER if you wish to block the software from running under all user accounts).
