Re: IE8 Setup Pop-up


I was only taking an educated guess. What does this annoying pop-up say?

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista x64 SP2).

What version of IE is shown in IE Help | About (e.g., v8.00.1234.5678)?

Assuming IE8 is installed...

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running
in the background when you installed IE8?

Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine
(e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?

Just asking for now!! Do NOT use such a Restore Point yet!! => Do you have
an available Restore Point which predates the install of IE8? Have you had
occasion to use such a Restore Point?

Repost: What does this annoying pop-up say?

Did you disable AVG and ZA and then enable the Windows Firewall before you
installed IE8?

Did you ever download/run the Norton Removal Tool?

Re: IE8 Setup Pop-up


The pop-up is Setup that calls for installation despite of IE8 has been
installed already. It pops up every once in awhile; "Reminde me later" is my
answer to make it disappear.

While IE8 was installed AWG and ZA were disabled; Windows Firewall not
enabled, at least not manually.

Norton Removal tool never been applied/run; don't even have it; never
downloaded it.

Re: IE8 Setup Pop-up

STOPPING THE POP-UP =>

1. Stop the Automatic Updates service:

Start > Run > (type in) services.msc > [OK]
Double-click Automatic Updates > Click on Stop
(Stopping the service will take a moment)

2. Delete the contents of the Download folder:

Start > Run > (type in) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
Open the Download folder and delete its contents
Close the window.

3. Go to Windows Update website | Select CUSTOM and allow the scan to
complete | Uncheck/deselect IE8 and hide it ("Don't show me this update
again").

4. Start the Automatic Updates service:

Start > Run > (type in) services.msc > [OK]
Double-click Automatic Updates > Click on Start
(Starting the service will take a moment)

REMOVING THE NORTON "LEFTOVERS" =>

5a. Download the Norton Removal Tool, saving it to your desktop:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...05033108162039

5b. Close all open applications (i.e., anything with an icon on the
taskbar).

5c. Double-click on the file you saved in #5a to run utility. Don't TOUCH
your keyboard until the run has completed, then reboot.

1. Stop the Automatic Update service:

Is it possible to do the same in Control Panel instead of > Run >
services.msc?

Re: IE8 Setup Pop-up


It's offered there,too.

Anyway, out of curiousity, why the need to run the Norton Removal Tool when
the pop-up problem is with IE8?

Thanks for your patiance and help.

Norton applications are notorious for not uninstalling cleanly & the
leftovers may be causing innumerable problems. See this related discussion:

An alternative is to do explicit commands in a cmd window
(aka Command Prompt).

E.g.

net stop wuauserv

then (whatever)

then

net start wuauserv

Re: IE8 Setup Pop-up

Is there any way around deleting this Dowload folder content, which is
rather big -161 MB -?

Sorry for asking "stupid" question in such late stage, see I'm not confident
computer handler, just an old fart.

Re: IE8 Setup Pop-up


No, and its contents would be deleted eventually anyway over time. The
folder only contains the installers for recent updates that have been
installed or that are awaiting install (e.g., IE8). If you delete the
folder's contents and later decide that you want to install IE8, all you
have to do is "unhide" it and the installer will download again.
