Ok do you have your Windows installation CD? IF so put it in and then click on start, then run, then type cmd and press enter. At the prompt type (or copy and paste) SFC /scannow and let it do its thing... so to speak. (make sure you put a space between SFC and /scannow)

done with the system file checker, no messages. I do think I tried this before, but ran it again. No change after I rebooted.

No, I did not. I believe it's something linked with IE. If I boot into safe mode and launch IE, everything works as expected (no msiexec). But I don't see any BHO objects and don't know what is causing this to run.

Yes, that's the entire log. Like I mentioned earlier, I have worked on this PC and used various spyware/malware programs to "clean" it. I'm usually helping others do this too, but I can't seem to find why/how msiexec is getting executed when IE is launched or a link is clicked. any ideas?
