Error message "invalid Win32 application software.
I downloaded MS malicious software removal tool was last updated in the downloads files. When I try to run the application, it gives me this message... "the software is not a valid Win32 Application". Currently, I have an older version already installed and trying to update.
Similarly, the same error message appears when you try to run Internet Explore from downloads of files. (the difference being that I currently don't have any version of Explorer on my computer)
Thanks for your help.
