ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Winword is Microsoft Word - did you install it? If not, then chances are that it is a virus or other malware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Right after the completion of a Windows 7 installation, it will invite you to install one of the Windows 7 compatible AV that are available. Users who don't do that are inevitable open to virus infection!Microsoft has rightly decided that there are better players in that field than MS itself.
