In my 'add & remove programs' list today, I noticed a program I'd never seen
before. I searched all of XP, then the web, and cannot find anything about
it.
Name is "seekapp 1.0 build 125"
Can anyone tell me what it is, or if it's some spyware thing or virus? Don't
want to delete it and then have problems, but it looks suspicious.
Thanks so much!
