welcome to the internet. you probably have a dozen of these applications
running on your machine at all times. i'm personally very bitter about all
these apps, and i've found my way to kill most of them. grab yourself an
app called "ad-aware" first of all. very good for cleaning most of this
spyware off your machine. as far as this microsoft one goes, remove
"qtmtask" from your startup - keeps it from launching when you boot your
machine... i personally use IBStartup Editor to kill everything i don't
like. makes for a nice/quick startup now. then things like zone-alarm are
a good idea to block any of these spy apps from accessing your internet
(although i think some have found a way around zonealarm). it's really sick
and sad that people can get away with these spy apps. i want to find the
gator folks and pummel until i can pummel no more, and then... i'll pour sea
salt on their pummel wounds.
right, hope that helps
