It takes a lot of memory but if I shut it down, my Internet stops working.

i have contacted authentium inc. about this problem.{it is part of cox security soft ware bundle} and was told that nothing would be done to fix this problem on this version but that updating to the new version would cure the problem unfortunately the user interface in the updated program lacks in that it is hard to tell when it is done updating or scanning i am choosing to stay with the older version becauseit is a nonharmful problem

Ray Pearcy had it right. It is bundled with Cox Security package for Adware blocking. It is process intensive at times but to dosable it disables the Security Software

My PC runs pretty crappy with curtains and any other virus software... And yes, it came with Cox software bundle, and sometime takes upto 40% of my CPU for extended times....

It is part of the COX security software, but it apparenlty causes memory error messages (two of them) when the computer is shut down, i.e. it must have a bug.

It is part of a security software package commonly provided by ISP's.

When this file runs i get many popups ans now and then my system reboots. If I turn it off it seems like all is well. I do not know what is starting it as it is not listed in my msconfig startup box.

It sucks a lot of memory usage out in Windows XP. Shutting it down in the end programs list doesnt work. You have to remove the original file
