Trojan?
What on earth is InstallHelper.exe. I've run scans until I'm blue in the
face, and using a Dr. something AV 1-time scan this came up on the thorough scan. I didn't on OneCare, or TrendMicro, or AVG, and there's little in HijackThis and nothing to fret about. Not sure this is even an infection. Nothing on MS website about it, only in Google and that wasn't very clear to a novice on infections. XP Pro, IE7 (when this all began). All updates current. -- The shadows are as important as the light (Charlotte Bronte in Jane Eyre). |

Nothing on MS website about it, only in Google and that wasn't very clear to a novice on infections. I Googled it (as did everyone who has replied) and it's obvious that it's NOT an infection. Most hits say it's a QuickCam or Acer process. Don't worry about it. If it's a running process that you can disable in MSCONFIG, do that and see what doesn't work. XP Pro, IE7 (when this all began).
