The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

My Connection is FAST, finally!

Its a folder where Windows stores a sort of startup value for programs that you use the most often.  It doesn't really do anything useful, and it won't slow down program startup....it just kind of sits there and waits in case you decide to run a program in its memory.

Oh dear!  I just ran into a problem.  I uninstalled all 4 programs (They also provided a thing called Performance Center to keep track of it all.) and the little icons on the bottom right next to the clock that represent them are still there.

WTF?  Are the programs still there?  How do I remove them?

Oh, and you want to know the most interesting thing about these 4 programs?  They were all under 3 MB. :o Shocker, huh? 0_0

EDIT: Never mind!  I had just forgotten to restart my computer to remove them.  Stupid me! :bang

Now, let's begin that webwide search, shall we? :)
