Each time my computer boots up, I get a window that says
an n-case file is missing and may cause some programs to
not work properly. It asks if I want to install, delete
and clean up or continue and remind me later. What is
this file, and what will it do if I delete it?

nCase is adware. Use AdAware or Spybot Search and Destroy to remove it. You
may need to do some additional steps manually to get rid of it completely.

n-Case is a form of spyware. Two products that are normally
quite effective at finding and removing such scumware are Ad-Aware
from www.lavasoft.de and SpyBot Search and Destroy from
http://security.kolla.de/. Both have free versions.

Symantec provides removal instructions:

Additional manual removal instructions for the most common
varieties of scumware are available here:

Thanks for catching that; I thought I'd fixed that.

Someday I'll have to automate the boilerplate answers, but
for now it is a choice between typos and speed. Seems I
have a tendency to get T - Y and B-N and a few other keys
by mistake. Not a big problem, unless the typo is also a
real word and I miss it visually. I know what I meant to
say and I see that on the screen.
