every time I turn my computer on, a window pops up telling me that windows installer is installing "marketresearch". After a few seconds it tells me that the install folder cannot be found. I then cancel the install. How can I stop this from happening every time my computer boots up? I have no idea what "market research" is. Help?

Thank you so much. I ran the windows installer clean up utility and deleted the reference to "market research". I no longer have that screen come up every time I start my computer, what a relief!!! Thank you, Scott, for taking the time to respond to my problem, your the best.
