[QUOTE="birdman, post: 137668, member: 12898"] I believe that I may have resolved this issue. I ran the tool from MalwareBytes (see the log that follows) and it found two files that I removed. I now can run the Utilities and SDK for subsystem for Unix installer and it proceeds normally. I'm surprised that the tools I used earlier didn't find these files. I'm also curious about what caused the installer I was running to use the bogus setup file. I'm going to run the other tools you've suggested to be sure there is nothing lingering in my system. Thanks again for your assistance.
