AcroDist.exe Application Error

Question

My computer got infected with malware a couple of days ago. I was able to remove the malware and restore just about everything but have had problems with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional since then. I keep getting this message: an error has been detected with a required application library and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application.

I have twice done a complete removal of the program and a reinstall tryng to fix this but continue to get this error message. I cannot view any pdf documents. Any suggestions on what I need to do to correct this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Since you have reinstalled, I will not bother suggesting a repair. However, I will suggest another reinstall. However, do it in this order

1. uninstall

2. remove all of the left over Acrobat folder (typically under Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat x.x)

3. run CC or the MS installation cleanup utility and cleanup the registry

4. consider running a virus scan again at this point

5. then reinstall and hopefully that will fix it.
