it is a spyware

Hi,
It's an application commonly included in many HP and Compaq systems. They use it for on-line support during the warranty period, I would suggest that it be uninstalled once this has expired. It is not necessary for normal operation of your machine. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers aka "Nutcase" MS-MVP - Win9x http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WinXP - Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Win98 Help - www.rickrogers.org "Gunjani" wrote in message m...

It's also included with the software for Kodak cameras, and without it, you
can't register your camera or software online, nor can you get firmware upgrades for your camera (or camera dock).

Who needs to install all the crap that comes with cameras anyway [1]? Just get a cheapo Sandisk card reader. XP works with them straight away no additional drivers needed. Firmware updates should be avoided as they can sometimes render the camera dead, I would only do a firmware upgrade if there was a bug with the original firmware 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' Some firmware updates can be installed with a card-reader anyway. [1] Kodak and Canon install a right load of useless garbage on the PC. Rick "Nutcase" Rogers wrote: Hi, It's an application commonly included in many HP and Compaq systems.
