There are different files with the same name:

• "InstallNAIProduct": Could be related to Network Associates Inc who own the McAfee VirusScan product amongst others. This was found in a directory called "VSC". Could it be an installation that failed and "SETUP.EXE" was left to run at startup as an error?
• "MM Install": Possibly Money Manager from Moneysoft?
• "RjLyraInstaller": ??
• "Tango": Tango Broadband access software. Is it required?
• "Windows Accelerators" can run at start up. KeySpy keylogger (monitoring program). Given a "U" recommendation because it depends if you intentionally installed it. If you didn't treat it as "X" and uninstall or remove
