not a valid win32 aplication



It began last week when I could not install Stinger. After downloading it
repeatedly, I still got the same message "stinger,exe is not a valid Win32
application" I tried downloading it on two other computers with the same
result.

Now, I can not download and install anything. Attempts to get an on line
scan from both McAfee and Panda were un successful. The Active X would
appear to be downloading but after half an hour of that, nothing happened.
Repeated attempts gave the same result.

Avast, AdAware. SpyBot, Windows Defender and SuperAnntispyware could find
nothing. I googled the not a valid............. but I could not identify my
problem from any of the hits. I read back in this group as well.

Can anyone tell me what the virus is and why all 3 machines in the house are
acting the same way? Please!!!
