C:\Program Files\CTest????

I removed 30 processes and much dead wgt and now have my eye on this
baby
noted above. A fat little piggy at 351 MB....hmmm

What is it?


And what do you see for the attributes listed under the Version tab
when you right-click on the file(s) under that path to look at their
properties? The author might be identified along with program name
which could jostle your failing memory as to what you installed
previously. Did you do a search in the registry on "\program
files\ctest" to see if that path was mentioned under a more
identifiable keyname there? Since the user usually gets the option to
select the path of where to install a program, the path is probably
not relevant to identifying the program versus mentioning the
program's filename(s).

No nibbles back in techarena.in where you posted 21 hours ago, eh?

I have a sneaking suspicion that you obtained a used computer from
someone else and are now trying to clean it up. Rather than try to
clean it up and still be left with a polluted system, save your data
files, reformat the partition, and do a fresh OS install.



Hi VanguardLH,

this computer was purchased new from a major retailer - however the mother
board was replaced once at my instance and again by way of a recall if you
like - Toshiba Qosimo

Yes, all the items you mentioned, I did before making my appearance on the
first forum you mentioned where there was and has been no responce and then
followed by tis thread which is active.

I used a reg checker to look for keys involving CTest and the only ones are
ones that I gave rise to. Perhaps this was a tool used by Toshiba to verify
the Media aspect of this machine and was not removed upon conclusion, who
knows huh?

Compare the folder date, and if you are concerned about the value of the
contents, burn 'em to a CD and then delete them.
