Running from Windows\system32 and I read that non microsoft programs in this registry could be suspect as viruses. Anyone familiar with this program? I am using a Thinkpad T42 and often update with Levono/IBM that supports this hardware.

I had a user that couldn;'t open Micrososoft Project on their T40 laptop. Under msconfig/startup, I found this executable running. I isabl;ed i from startup, rebooted, and then was able to open Project without any issues. I have no clue what this is for, but it seems to have been causing the issues this user was having.
