This can be normal, but it is actually never good when a program closes becuase of an error.... What is this debugging for? (Registy cleaner, windows debugger, etc.)

This sounds liek you DID NOT download this software yourself right? This sounds like the work of Spyware... Do you have protection?

Yea. I have Microsoft Antisapyware Beta1m, Aol spyware protection and Lavasoft Ad-Aware se. I check for spyware at least 3 times a week. They are normally only traking cookies. I have Ad-watch monitering everything and Microsft real time protection going too.

It's not even on the list. Maybe it's a backgroung probram used by Microsoft to help every thing go along. I found this webiste while on google.  http://techrepublic.com.com/5102-6329-5151128.html
I think it kind of sugests that it keeps everything working in order as it compares it to Sherlock Holmes. I don't think it is anyting to worry about. Anyway thanks SO much for replying. VERY much appreciated. Cheers

    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.
