anonymous it tries to connect to msnusers.com... It can't be good if it tries to contact to some server like that...
nick it took up all my resources when google indexing was paused but when it restarted it stoped.
A. Mason I've been using this for several months since I installed GoogleDesktop2 Sidebar (it's a Google plug-in from Google.com). It has been found useful & harmless (as per Norton & AVG & Ad-Aware & Spybot & more). Today I'm getting recurring error saying python23.dll file is missing so need to reinstall app to fix problem.  See also: Link
Mark I have a screen popping up that looks fishy, asking for my .Net passport signon. I traced it back to this program as the running process associated with the window. The screen looks like a hoax to me. I'm deleting it., and getting information from Google on the proper file size, etc from this process.
Slows desktop to a crawl. Aptly named.
