As soon as I boot up my PC I get an installer asking me to install a program called DocumentViewer, when I hardly requested it to install. It asks me to insert a disc when I don't have one (It's not that I have cracked software, I hardly asked it to install in the first place).

Also, a Microsoft .NET Framework error message comes up with an installer, and it says "An unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. Click continue and an application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

So I click Continue, and it repeats, so I have to get Task Manager and close it. Even though that is the way to do it, it should not happen anyway.

Can someone help?

Did you add anything new lately? New Program? Scanner?

Not that I know of.

Maybe uninstalling Microsoft NET Framework will help, but what does it do and should I remove it?
