You're welcome, wumply.

And it won't go to waste, I saved it also, and someone else will ask the
same question again. ;-)

In your case, you will not be able to uninstall the connected programs.

It is said that 90% of the problems posted here are user induced. Believe

I red the other day that the subjectd file monitors browsing habits and
that
it is a registered sevcurity risk and should bae removed immediateluy.
I've
noticed that it often comes bundled with products with the Wise
installer. I
have 4 such instances:

UNWISE.EXE in folder C:\Program Files\Active Password Changer Demo
UNWISE.EXE in folder C:\Program Ffiles\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE Personal
UNWISE.EXE in folder C:\Program Files\Yahoo\Messenger
UNWISE.EXE in folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromedia\Shockwave10

And the following:

Search?hl=en&q=UNWISE.EXE&BTNG=Google+Search in folder C:\Documents and
Settings\John D. Miller\Local Settrings\Temp Internet Files

UNWISE.EXE -
Google Searach google (www.google.com)
unwise-unwise.exe-Process Information in folder liutilities
(www.liutilities.com)

Can I safely remove all of these and then IF I want to delete some
jprogram
they were bundled with, just use Add/Remove to uninsjtall that?

===================
OK, Wes!

Thanks much for your full explanation...I do appreciate it and the time
you put in. Not many would have done that. It was, additionally, a good
answer and I am the richer for it. I printed it out so I could easily
refer back to it if I felt a need.
