It isn't like Norton or McAfee, for which I carry around regularly-updated tools specifically for their removal. _________________________ Matt

Is it even possible without a full system reinstall? Simply uninstall it from the control panel like any other app. Seems to go away without any problems or leaving pieces behind. Seems MS has learned a thing or two from years of getting bent over by the govmt. for anti-competitive practices. _________________________ ~ John
