Seems its possibly related to an application from tiny software inc? A number of which ive installed and removed, and ive been trying out various anti virus, anti malware, spyware and even registry cleaners lately

In add/remove programs there does not seem to be anything out of order, nothing that stands out anyway, so perhaps just some leftover application that wont leave

I have installed windows installer cleanup utility and am ready to use that if advised

thanks
