think it came with my Pagis Pro ScanSoft scanner

Is just anoying to have in the system, when installing Scansoft Scanner suite (Pagis Millenium Ed), TextBridge is installed as part of normal functioning for Pagis Millenium Edition. well, register software after install and it will not bother again, or prevent starting from within Taskmanager by removing check mark..
