How can I find out if the data miners that I just found
in my windows registry are part of software or something
I need to exterminate?
Look as if they could be part of media player??? Lisa

delete them because I have been cautioned in past, to
delete carefully-that sometimes goodguys are mistaken for
bugs- has anyone every heard of this. Lisa
