Google install fail minidump

[AlbertLionheart]

Anyone any opinions on what has happened here, please?
It may have been as the result of some threatware that I found on the system (WinPC Defender) and which I had thought I had removed.

Update - minidump file which was attached to the first post turned out to be an invalid file so if a kindly mod could bin this post please???

Your subject is pretty vague. What Google are you trying to 'install'? WinPC Defender is a new rogue anti-spyware program discovered by security analyst S!Ri and is a clone of the programs named XP Police Antivirus and IE Security:
Full description and removal instructions here:

But you should know the virus and malware drill here: https://www.techspot.com/community/...lware-removal-preliminary-instructions.58138/
It calls for running Malwarebytes, SuperAntispyware, then HijackThis. Note that 2 of these 3 programs are recommended for the removal of the rogue spyware program.

Please attach the three logs when through and we will review them. I don't do the minidumps if that's what you're referring to, but I suggest running the scans instead and/or explaining the problem more clearly.

The reason it is vague is that I don't know. There is nothing in the registry to show what this is.
This is why I asked for a mod to kill the thread as it is a waste of time - and in any event I have reformatted the drive and reinstalled windows today!

Thank you. We understand that you do not need further help for this problem.

Cheers - now perhaps a mod might notice and slap a solved sticker on it!
