logitech desktop messenger problem

Hi y'all!
I am working through your wonderful guide on maintaining my computer and removing malware. I removed the Logitech Desktop Messenger as suggested, but ever since then I keep getting the message "Runner file name (Logitech Desktop Messenger.exe) lacks a '-' (the app id separator)". What does this mean and how can I stop getting this?
Thanks for any help.

 

Does this happen at start up?
If so, this may just be a part of the desktop messenger still existing in the start up menu.
It seems that desktop messenger is just an updater for new logitech products etc.. so no problem removing it.

I suggest CCleaner

It has a start up menu manager in it, just go there and uninstall it. (This will pick up more start menu items than using the add/delete program)

It does happen at startup, and also whenever we switch users on the computer.

I tried to delete it through CCleaner, and it gave me "Setup.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." Any ideas on what to try next? Thanks!

 

...
Try deleting the Desktop Messenger file from C:\Program Files\Logitech( You did this already I assume?-If not try deleting it ,if it exists then rebooting--this may be the stray piece that is left over),

Did you try any of the other tools that come with CCleaner? registry cleaner etc?

Hi Petaluma!
Well, this is a prime example of DUH!! Of course when I went into Logitech there was the whole file sitting there. I deleted it but cannot reboot as yet because I'm in the middle of something else, but I'm sure it worked! Thanks very much. Also, I haven't used the Registry thing in CCleaner because I'm afraid. And given my expertise (i.e. lack of) I'm probably right!

Many thanks, Petaluma!
I have rebooted, and the message is gone.
