I installed a program from a torrent a few weeks ago, and I'm not sure if this happened right after that, but it never used to happen before. All of the sudden when I open MS Word, a box pops up and says "Windows Installer...", and then the hourglass is there. If I don't hit cancel, a message will come up and say to insert the disk that came with the program (which I don't have). I click cancel, and it closes the box, but then it pops back open. It does this three times until finally Word opens. It takes a long time for three of them to get cancelled, so I'm waiting forever. What's causing this? Like I said, I never had this happen before. I've been using Word all along.
Thank you for your help!
PS- don't know if this matters, but I did run 3 different online scans b4 downloading the actual torrent, and before running the executable. I also scanned it locally using AVG. It came out clean. However, I have had a problem with my computer running slowly since then.
