How do I get rid of the TrayApp virus?

[artforartssake]

everytime I switch on my comp this horrid little box appears telling something about TrayApp.msi not being installed

It's almost imposs to get rid of it

I have the McAfee anti-virus software and also Tune up 1-click maintenance software.

Surely one of these two programs can get rid of this without me needing to install and pay for a new program

Can anyone help me please?

thanks

Hi , seems not a virus but rather from a buggy (faulty) installation,   trayApp is identified as to be a HP printer application ,

buggy printer installation:

so I suggest if you have a HP printer attached uninstall and then reinstall the related application programs to hopefully correctly install  TrayApp

If you do not have attached a HP printer  but previously did , delete printer from Start>devices and printers applet, then fully uninstall all related programs via " control panel > system and security : programs > programs and features : uninstall a program

As a temp workaround :

You can possibly disable TrayApp if listed in "startup" of system config , called up by launching this Windows app via

the run command line

start > all propram> accessaries > run

physically keyin: 

    msconfig  

click ok

or install freeware application program    winpatrol 

and disable that app, however related device support may also be disabled - printer may not work correctly

If in doubt seek personal computer support

yep I think you're right

I've already disabled the pop up, now I just need to reinstall the printer software

thanks for the help
