Dashboard.exe

There is a code within the WLInstaller that whenever I go to actually
re-install MSN I get a virus called Dashboard.exe From everything I seem to
read it is actually embedded in the actually installer itself... So, how can
I install MSN Live without having this stupid virus attack my computer.

Thanks!

Don't know where you get your info ... but it's no virus or what ever. Or
you have !I!DASHBOARD.EXE, cause that *is* a virus.
Otherwise it's a part of Microsoft Network and/or MSN: it's part of Windows
Live Installation.
If you are installing MSN it will be loaded until it is complete, otherwise
it's no usually it be loaded in the memory.
The Dashboard is where you select the components that Windows Live will
install. Eg. write, windows mail, messenger, blog, etc.

Also: Codename: Dashboard - "an application that resides at the side of
your screen. Built on the Microsoft .NET Framework, it is a host for
interchangeable components through which C.D. allows you to have any
information you want, on your desktop, all the time"
