Hi Taika, This sometimes happens to me, as well, where the Windows installer will suddenly appear for no reason.
I can't say that it affected my office applications, but I eventually found out that it had something to do with Adobe's automatic updates installing themselves. If you check out your processes in the task manager or the services in the ms config dialog box, you'll notice a file called accrotray.exe. This is a program that resides in the background that monitors activity on the Adobe server for updates that need to be installed. This is similar to the Windows automatic updates feature. This can be tweaked in the Adobe Acrobat options dialog box. The Easiest way to tell if you have this or not, is if you have Adobe Acrobat reader 7 and up, you can bet that the auto update feature is enabled, as it is enabled by default. Usually this doesn't affect you very much except that it's a pain in the ass when you wonder if you've downloaded a virus that has just installed itself. The other thing is that it doesn't download any updates unless your internet connection is idle for more than a certain number of minutes. Anyway, like I said, it usually doesn't mean anything and you can usually let it go without any problems.
