Setup.exe.download

i was surfing through **** pages for a project and suddenly, i was warned of threats throughout my computer, saying that i was infected. An automatic download came up >setup.exe.download<. Can anyone give me some good advise with this download that popped up. Thanks.

All .exe and setup.exe files are PC not Mac files. You should not download them. You should not download any file you don't know about especially through your browser.

  • How do I stop automatic Setup.exe downloads?

    I regularly visit an online video site for films and t.v series.  Recently Setup.exe files have been downloading automatically from the site when I open pages for some series.  Is there a way to prevent this without disabling the normal function of something else?
    Many thanks for input (-:

    The update alerts are fake, and are intended to dupe you into installing malware or disclosing private information so that your identity can be stolen.
    You might get the alerts when visiting a website that has been hacked. Don't visit the site again. If applicable, notify the site administrator of the problem, but don't send email to an unknown party.
    If you get the alerts when visiting well-known websites such as Google, YouTube, or Facebook, then they're the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to those sites are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker.
    The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
    Then go through the initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
    1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option. Most do.
    2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits.  Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed. Any password that you can remember is weak.
    3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set a different strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
    During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.
    If you downloaded and installed what you thought was a software update, ask for instructions.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • I am trying to reinstall Windows on my macbook pro.  I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive.  However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode."

    I am trying to reinstall Windows (would not launch).  I removed the partition and started over.  I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive.  However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode."  I was successful before, what am I doing wrong this time?

    Try a restart.
    If that doesn't fix the problem, shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Oracle 9iLite download setup.exe file does not work

    Like many people (I am discovering more by the minute), I am unable to install 9i Lite.5.01. When the setup.exe file is triggered, a hourglass appears for a second, then nothing...
    I am installing on a windows 2000 terminal server, therefore I have to go through (Control Panel) Add/Remove Programs. The Oracle Universal Installer says that setup.exe is either a directory or is corrupt.
    I have tried a couple of fixes suggested in this forum, such as unzipping the files to /install/disk, but to no avail. I have also tried downloading the software again, but with the same results.
    Is there anyone out there who has successfully overcome this problem ?

    Yes, there has been a problem reported with setup.exe on the Pentium 4 processor.
    To overcome the problem, copy the contents of the CD on to your hard drive.
    Then search for every occurence of the file symcjit.dll under the base directory where u have copied from your CD.
    and rename them to symcjit.old.
    Then launch setup.exe.
    This should take care of the problem

  • Oracle 9i download setup.exe problem

    Downloaded and unzipped Disk1, Disk2, Disk3 per instructions, but when I try to run setup.exe, I get an hourglass for two seconds, then nothing happens at all. Running Win2k Pro.

    We has a similar problem with 8.1.7. Is your machine a Pentium 4? If so, it may be similar to the problem we had.
    The advice we got from Oracle support was as follows:
    --There are known issues where Oracle Universal Installer(OUI) hangs on Pentium IV
    --machines. Any Oracle Universal Installer 1.7.1.9.0 and earlier installation on a
    --platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the Sun JRE and Symantec
    --Just in Time Library (JIT) will encounter this problem. Windows NT is confirmed
    --to be affected by this issue.
    --Please refer to <Note:131299.1> which suggests three possible workarounds for
    --this issue.
    --Currently there is not a patched Installer available to deal with this problem.
    --Hence I'm afraid one of the workarounds listed above has to be used.
    You'll need to go to metalink to look at the note if this does apply.
    Hope this helps,

    Run the EXE file after keeping all the files in same folder. It will extract all of the files in the same folder and then you will get the exe file in extracted folder. This is for the core BO server. For rest of the components like widgets you have to extract the file and manuallt run setup.exe.

  • I keep getting a SETUP.EXE error message when downloading firefox 3.6.10

    Each time I have attempted to open firefox 3.6.10 after downloading is completed I receive an error message that states "Setup has caused an error in SETUP.EXE, setup will close now. Try restarting your computer and try again". I have done this for each of my last three sessions, what can I do.

    Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME. <br />
    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements-v3.html <br />
    You can try KernelEx to get Firefox 3+ to work, but it would be very slow with an old PC of less than 750Mhz.

  • I uninstalled PS CS6 (non-cloud upgrade) WinXP SP3 then downloaded and reinstall failed during SetUp.exe

    Review: I purchased non-CC upgrade from PS CS5>CS6 today at Adobe.com, downloaded and installed, seemed to work, but had problems after attempting ACR update that led to PS errors, so I uninstalled PS CS6 via control panel>remove>Adobe uninstaller. When I tried to reuse SetUp.exe or re-extract PS CS6 install files; all failed. Contacted support chat they said-download again that will work. That failed, too. Please advise on how to re-install PS CS6 upgrade on same machine where I removed it just hours before. OS: Win XP SP3
    Thanks, Paul

    Kglad,
    Thanks for your helpful reply. I ran the cleaner, checked the log (ok), then ran installer. The installer ran (1 am) and after a brief celebration I looked and PS CS6 was not visible. It did not completely install and no PS CS6 icons were visible--I should have know something was wrong when it did not ask for serial number. I did System Restore, and just ran the CC Cleaner again (targeting PS CS6, since I believe that I need to leave the PS CS5 on the computer for the upgrade to work. Is there anything else that I may need to do to reinstall successfully? I think that the ACR I tried to install caused a problem -- can I target ACR for cleaning / removal further? I have valid serial numbers: loaded PS CS5 from box upgrade yesterday and then bought PS CS6 upgrade also yesterday. Thank you for your good ideas! Paul

  • Uplayermediaplayer-setup.exe keeps prompting me to download and install. It is a virus according to Google. How do you remove these prompts?

    My question says it all. In addition, this started to happen yesterday. Initially all I did is download the file. However, before I installed it, I checked with Google about it. When I discovered the file is a virus or malicious malware. So, I never installed it. I have run PC Tuneup Maestro several times now and fixed issues. However, this prompting from uplayermediaplayer-setup.exe keeps coming up on my computer screen. I do not install it. I want to rid my computer of this prompting from this file. I have Norton 360 Internet Security. I have checked my status with N360 too. I do believe via Internet Options on Internet Explorer 8 that I have cleared my computer cache ( I'm not sure if this is the correct procedure for doing clearing the computer cache?). This is a very annoying problem. I've wasted a lot of time trying to rid my computer of this supposed prompting to download and install this file. Earlier this morning, I tried to call in to N360 support, but the representative did not give me direct answers, wasted much time, and really did not give me a feeling of knowledge of this file or how to remove the prompting to download and install it.

    Oh, just one more thing, I have the VLC media player on my computer. I am happy with it. It has also been updated to the most recent version 2.1.1 This is also why I questioned why uplayermediaplayer-setup.exe was even coming up on my computer screen in the first place.
