Default Disabling FINDFAST.EXE ?

My Outlook 97 has stopped functioning properly. I'm trying to reinstall
Office 97 (& Outlook) using my CD, but I get a message, "Setup could not open
the file: 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\FINDFAST.EXE'. It is in
use by another application". I have no other applications open! In my Windows
Task Manager, however, I note that "FINDFAST.EXE" is a process apparently
running in the background. If I start to end the process (to try to
successfully reinstall Office 97), I get a pretty scary message about
undesired results of stopping "FINDFAST.EXE". I want to know if I can stop it
to reinstall and will it "restart" when I reboot?
