Companies today are doing what ever they can to move their programs and have them installed on YOUR PC. They have been doing group programs for some time now, but there are companies that at one time would never even think about it but times are tough all over so..... What they do in the instance I an talking about is when you need an update they sneak in another program in disguise hoping to fool us the consumer into downloading one or more of the damned programs. Lately this happened to me for a second time in a short time and one of the problems I can't seem to fix. Be very careful you read everything you are suppose to okay as it may not be what you want at all. Some times they end up being a "pup". Which is what happened to me. It took me scanning with malware bites to get rid of it. Just be for warned! KaptCrunch 1 Awards

They dont like giving it to you as they want you to make copies from the PC but it only cost $15 bucks from HP and you get original media and you can bypass most of that shit on reinstall. They put shit on their to monitor you and you dont even know it. Sounds like SPYWARE is it is. BigPapaDean and simplemod 2

I'm very careful to uncheck the "include" when installing programs and updates. Awards
