I just realized that I had Cookies, History, & Temp. Internet folders within the Temp folder (C:\DOCUME~1\XXX\LOCALS~1\Temp). This seems a bit strange, since these folders are currently present...

streamhlp.dll, as i now know, is a harmless ad stream (although I'm not sure to which app it's associated with). LongonDll, according to the ppl at TDS-3, is a password stealer. I have reformatted my...

There are two suspicious dll files for which I would like an explanation -- LogonDll.dll (Winlogon notify) & streamhlp.dll (this one I have no clue). Having queried Google, I came up empty. These two...

I'm usuallly working with about 5 apps on a continual basis. Is it possible to open all of them simultaneously by opening just one (ie. by opening MS Word, the spreadsheet, DB & other apps also...

Windows Messenger is installed by default, and it doesn't appear in the Add/Remove Program applet in Control Panel. However, you can manually edit the SYSOC.INF file, which is located in the...

Thx for the reply. Might I add that I'm not so much concerned about "what" it is but rather "where" it is. As long as I know where it resides, I would know how to deal with it. It so happens that,...
