I have no idea what it is. It was on here before I reformatted and still here. Maybe something the grand put on here. He never bothers my pc anymore. Don't even want to fix it when it gets broke. It comes from The Silicon Realms toolworks. How can I disable it and see what happens? So if I have problems I can put it back. Juanita --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
