Thanks. Now may I ask what a browser helper object is, in plain English? For
instance, I've never gotten the hang of how the term "object" is used in
computer lingo. So could you paraphrase that in a more colloquial way? For
instance, does "B H O"mean an aftermarket accessory to improve the
performance of the browser in some way? And in what sense is that an
"object," in ordinary terms? The use of the word "object" in these contexts
must, it seems to me, have some sort of metaphorical meaning that's been
adopted in computer talk, because it doesn't seem it means physical objects,
or something to be acted upon by something else, as in "the object of my
affections," for instance.
Please note: This is a sincere question about English usage, not sarcasm. So
if no one knows, because everyone's just sort of absorbed these expressions,
okay, I'll accept that. But please no flaming or insults. Thanks.
thanks.

Found the answer... It's the BHO (what shows up if you have Spybot S&D
installed).

Does anyone know if this is this legit or malware?
