i have no idea. i also had tw oother entires called MarketResearch and another called CustomerResearchQFolder,

i uninstalled those this morning. Im guessing those other two are tied into it? but i still have no idea where they came from?

I put a stickie note prog on here two days ago... Might be from that?

Do you have a stickie note prog running?

[Jimemy]

No I dont

It maybe spyware.

[Jimemy]

Maybe if you Uninstalled it and see what happens

Make sure you have made a system restore point

"Perhaps" an easy way to find out where that stuff is located is:

• Open RegEdit and go to:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
  
• In RegEdit click File->Export to export the whole Uninstall section to for example:
  Uninstall.reg
  
• Open Uninstall.reg in a text editor such as Notepad or Wordpad then look through it for clues to where the stuff is located.

Any run-of-the-mill anti-malware app should find any baddies in the uninstall list. Even Microsoft can use what "seems like suspicious names" for stuff that isn't even malware related.

... Ok i did that. i breezed thru it and i couldnt find either of them. They fall before quicktime in ccleaners list and, in that exported list they arent anywheres near it?

I also dont spend alot of time looking at the registry stuff. My knowledge of that is limited at best.

I dont think they are bad? SuperAntiSpyware didnt find anything either.

Just... I dont know what they are or what the hell they are doing?

Many software titles install sub-components, which is something the standard Microsoft Windows Add/Remove may or may not show whereas CCleaner shows everything.
