This is annoying me so much, i dont like windows MSN because it always makes itself start at startup, even if you dont know it and disable it! and just wastes resources since i never use it.

Well, for the past month this has been apearing when i start up the pc, it apears 1-5times.

and when i open acrobat reader it tries to install windows msn (which im sure is already installed, since my firewall programme says its active)
and gives me this error.

It keeps trying to install it untill i force it to stop by terminating it in the task manager.

Any ideas?

The top result from that search is what I always use.

I know I am late for this but when I got roughly the same thing, But with I.E I just opened run and did msconfig and killed all unwanted things in startup.

Its also great for killing error report :)
