[pchelpers] Re: strange problem

I had web shots at one time and had basically the same problem. It was
suggested to me by a pc tec to dump it since it kept freezing up my pc and
used mega memory. It seems the program is good for a while then becomes
unstable. Once I got rid of it the pc problem was resolved. Had exactly the
same problem with incredimail and was told to dump it and did. Seems Windows
only likes their own programs.
