Is PCHealth a Microsoft component ?
Hi Everyone,
I have the Revo uninstaller program on my machine, and it shows a installed program called PCHealth on my machine. I'm running WinXP Pro Sp3 . I don't remember installing this program , although it could have been freeware I was checking out and then forgot about. The program doesn't show up in my Program files. Nor does the Add and Remove programs show it as a installed program. PCHealth shows up in C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth . And there is a C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\HelpCtr.exe , that takes me to Windows Help and Support center. So my question is , is C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth a legitimate Microsoft feature or is it some form of malware ? Thanks. -- your friend, Larry

Hi Larry,
Yes. PCHealth entry is a system component, which does not show up in Add/Remove Programs. If you accidentally remove it using a 3rd party program, you can restore it using the instructions he Reinstalling Help and Support Center in Windows XP: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/rebuildhelp.htm -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] The Winhelponline Blog http://www.winhelponline.com/blog "leoliver" wrote in message ...

Hello Ramesh,
I made the same action with "Revo Uninstaller",I uninstalled PCHealth as well !!! Thanks for info, this should work - Reinstalling Help and Support Center in Windows XP: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/rebuildhelp.htm - , but I have my XP installed on Laptop when I bought and I have no XP install CD. Without XP CD can I restore XP Help and Support function ? Thanks, Gyorgy -- Ujlaki Gy "Ramesh Srinivasan, MS-MVP" wrote: Hi Larry, Yes.
