where do they come from? why are they there? and why
won't microslop explain how to get rid of them? my
add/remove file is full of these dang things. some can't
even be found in microslop's listings (q810565, q810577
and q810833 for example) and the ones that are found make
absolutely no sense whatever.

please reply to me by removing what's between the -'s and
removing the -'s themelves (you'd be amazed the number of
folks who leave the -'s in...)

my main concern is when i go to remove these, i get a pop-
up with all kinds of programs (usually games) saying if i
remove the hotfix, these programs may not run properly.
just about all of these hotfixes appeared when i tried to
install and use that call alert system that keeps popping
up in unwanted pop-ups (even tho i am running a pop-up
blocker). any ideas, comments, suggestions appreciated.
