Guest Bill C Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 I went into the add/remove programs and all the programs are different from the original. Instead of having what I had originally installed, I now have things like DIGOpt, DIGReqEp, I don't even know what these programs are. Any idea of what they are and how hey got there?
