Does anybody know what the heck this is?
I've got two Packard Bell PCs here, neither has ever run AOL, and the only software ever run on both has been the standard Microsoft stuff. Yet both always have this unidentified program running in the background.
I can't find any file on the HD which seems to relate to it, it's not listed in the "startup" folder but on occasion when my PC has been running particularly slowly I've deliberately closed it and the computer has improved.
What is it? Should it be there? Should I get rid of it? If so, how?
Needless to say both PCs are running AVG anti-virus (one previously Panda Platinum), and one is running Ad-aware, none of these packages have ever flagged it.
All advice gratefully accepted !
