Tony,
Just did a Google search on =B3Error Guard=B2. Got 17,300 hits, the top 5 do no=
t
give very good profiles of the company. Lots of reasons but one of the most
consistent was that it seemed to induce instability in other programs.
I=B9m not sure that it is not a legitimate program or company, but it is hard
to get rid of it and may be a form of spyware or data-miner.
Do the search, read the reviews, and come to your own conclusions but in my
opinion any program that shows up, says I=B9m here to help you so I=B9ve
installed myself, and then proceeds to =8Cfind=B9 all sorts of ills is, IMHO,
suspect.

Just another reason I=B9m staying with the Macintosh (Apple) platform.
