Hello Jody,

When trying to re-install the Trend Micro OfficeScan program, you got an error message telling you that you already had that program installed on your computer. To resolve that issue, you will need to do the following:

  • Just for confirmation, go to the control panel and make sure that the program has been removed.
  • After that go to C:Program Files and check for a Trend Micro OfficeScan folder.
  • Delete that folder will its contents in case it is there.
  • After running Cleaner to remove all files associated with Trend Micro OfficeScan as well as fix problems with registry entries.
  • And then try re-installing it.

Regards,

Carl
