Since the download he shows in an earlier msg is an .exe.part, the first 
thing I would do is blow that one away and go get it again, (AND its 
checksum so you can check it yourself) this time from the gimp site, it 
is an incomplete download and not even god knows whats it it. Then if 
trend-micro fusses, fuss back at trend-micro. Better yet, remove 
trend-micro.
