I received a "cannot find emailspider . . ." msg upon startup - not sure what that is.

Also, should I remove SpyBot S&D & TeaTimer - or keep that too? THXS!!

Just popped again - it's a windows installer - it says:

"Windows Installer

Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containg the installation package 'REEmailspiderDemo[1].msi' in the box below"

I hit cancel the first time, but it just tried again.

You can keep it.

Remove that program entry using this, please.
