Got a message saying my computer may be infected and my Windows Installer is missing...! How can I solve?

Hi JohnYusko,

1. have you done any hardware changes or software on your computer before this problem?

2. do you have security software installed on your computer?

3. when exactly you receive this error message?

(a) I recommend you run a virus scan online from the link given below and check if the problem persists:

Microsoft safety scanner

Also, make sure that you have the latest update of the software antivirus installed on your computer, so that it works correctly.

(b) you can also download & run Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer.

Due to Windows Installer, you try to unregister Windows Installer, and then reregister Windows Installer and check if the problem persists. To do this, follow these steps:
 
a. initially, box run, type "msiexec /unreg" and press ENTER on the keyboard.
 
b. Type "msiexec/regserver" and press ENTER on the keyboard.

Hope the helps of information.
