if its a toolbar helper check see if is in your browser....if so can be removed and may be snuck into windows explorer....... but as Armando says google it first..... seems lots of these outifits do sneaky installs hidden in there programing files especially if advertised as "FREE" but are more to the free junk status than a real tool....... chuck...in Ok In a message dated 5/29/2012 11:00:20 P.M.

Since it does not show up on the list, I am thinking it may be a portable program and I can just delete its .exe file. However, I don't think I should delete the .exe file if they are not portable. Is there an easy way to determine if a program is portable? Brian
