Comments
Please share with the other users what you think about this file. What does this file do? Is it legitimate or something that your computer is better without? Do you know how it was installed on your system? Did you install it yourself or did it come bundled with some other software? Is it running smoothly or do you get some error message? Any information that will help to document this file is welcome. Thank you for your contributions.
I'm reading all new comments so don't hesitate to post a question about the file. If I don't have the answer perhaps another user can help you.
I have downloaded the program when I just happen to come across it. It looks like a worthwhile program but I need to investigate further as I noticed that in spite of my computer background I really don't know several files but I think that it is indeed a program for those who know something about a computer before they start deleting a whole bunch of files. I also like the voting idea in keeping the file or deleting it. That I found particularly handy although it looks that not many people let you or me know how they voted. Keep it up.
