so i found a Temp folder with this thing in it, No fucking clue what it is, i assume its a virus of some kind because microsoft would not write their EULA's like this.

No shit sherlock. what would you do if you were cleaning up a PC and found some Randomly named Text documents and some weird Program you dont know what the hell its for.

that is weird. why would malware insert spaces into every letter of the MS EULA. I can imagine a malware distributor using MS EULA to trick people in to installing their dodgy software

well, first of all. don't be a dick about it.

I would google the problem. maybe backup the system, then delete the file.

C:\temp\InstallFilter64.msi a variant of Win32/AdWare.Adpeak.G application

You can use a program called CCleaner to remove temporary file and internet cookies. Although admittedly not as good as looking at the files. If it where a virus then your anti-virus software would have picked it up.

Should mention - I don't run any antivirus software that does live scans, takes up WAY To much resources on my Potato-laptop.
