Hello, I am not familar with your problem or with computers. I had a problem
after a program removal, it would send info to the home site. Removed the
registry entries and they would return. Found a person with the same problem
that had located a .dll and removed it and the registry entries never were
recreated. Perhaps you have the same type of problem.
Take Care.
