Who do these people think they are?
Exactly who they portray themselves to be.
Information gatherers.

I became really concerned when McAfee kept warning me that something was connecting to the internet and that it had been allowed because it was in my "trusted" sites at about the same time that a McAfee warning kept coming on that my SystemGuard had been disabled. It happened at least six times every 5 minutes and I wasn't doing anything to cause it. Today I carefully single clicked on the big e in the start- up menu (to make sure I didn't accidentally start more than one connection with a double click) I got THREE Internet windows. I did it the long way because this has happened repeatedly, bogging my PC down, and I kept assuming I must have caused it by clicking more than once. Then when trying to close 2 of the IE windows down, I got the dialog box that a problem had been encountered and "whatever" had to shut down with the option to "end now". That's where I got the file names. Decided to do an internet search this time and so glad I found this site. Now I can get rid of the files that have been giving me and my PC fits for ages.
