Probably a good poser for Ned....
A few facts: I run XP SP3 on a Dell computer. No problems for the last 4 years.
I run my CCcleaner about once a week. This includes a registry clean procedure.
On Dec 11, I updated the normal IE security updates (manual-not automatic). I noticed there was one update labelled with a Windows 8 and XP label. In the past I have always rejected those entries (with 8) but this time I let it upload.
On today's CCCleaner run I noticed it took an extraordinary long time to finish. After the normal first clean I went to the registry step. It showed 4 entries with SPUNINST.EXE entries. I cleaned them out.
I don't know if there is any connection.
ok, what next ? Searched the Net for info. Quite a bit available but I did not follow any instruction on how to get rid of it. I hope CCC did the job.
Any comments? I did notice that after my actions I noticed a definite speed increase in computer processing. ( I am on cable Modem - 45 down--5 up) desktop. Using Firefox 99% of the time.
Merry Christmas all...

1 thing I forgot to mention.... I deleted the last IE update and then checked the Update procedure again. The only thing asking to be updated was the 8/XP entry. I refused (cancelled) it and am back to normal, I hope.
