What’s On Your Computer

]]> Visiting my in-laws for a bit and trying to check some email. As I’m doing some general browsing around the web I continue to get these quarter browser window pop ups. The question here is what’s the last thing that was downloaded and installed? There presents a challenge that has just arisen as well. When I went to the Control Panel to see what’s installed the installed programs list won’t even display all the way.

Looks like I’ll need to come back and run some applications to see what’s going on. This presents the question though. Do you know what’s on your computer? Do you have kids? Do you pay attention to what you’re even downloading and putting on your system? Do you install stuff just because a website or a friend or family member suggested it to you because it was “cool”.

Take a minute and look around your system. Check the Control Panel, browse through your Start Menu. If you don’t kow what it is or what it does or who put it there. I’d get rid of it.
