A problem thats been bugging me for weeks now. On an XP machine here, everytime you enter a word in the address bar of internet explorer it doesnt just open the search page etc... it just opens a windows installer. No idea what it's trying to install and no idea how to stop it. Have to end the task. Any ideas?

It was Norton AV causing problems again! I do like NAV, been using it for a long time with no problems but recently I've discovered it's not a good idea to let other people uninstall it. Unless they follow the uninstall properly it can leave behind a lot of problems.
