Hi polonus,
The messenger has already been shot, so to speak, and whether its that or the fact that PAL is not actively running the pop ups are no longer occurring. But I can't get the program to uninstall. As I said, the disease is symptomless but still present.
If it was my computer I might feel comfortable leaving well enough alone, but I'm concerned somebody might click the executable out of curiosity. I've changed the extension to .dat to discourage this but who knows. It can't be a good thing having this on the computer even if it's not active.
Its frustrating...
