I was looking to see what profiles i have in Outlook so i went to control panel > mail and clicked on it ,, nothing happened after the hourglass went away , so i tried opening Outlook again and saw a couple of quick flashes of the smaller "windows installer" box , then Outlook opened without the larger box coming up ,,, so i tried a little experiment , and i closed Outlook and clicked on the "Mail" icon in control panel again , and then opened Outlook ,,couple flashes then it opened ,, then i closed it and checked task manager and noticed two files running "setup.exe" and "msascui.exe" ,,,then i also noticed a file opening and closing "msiexec.exe" What the hell is going on????
