BTH elp N otifier.exe

One of the good things about PC Surgery is the rapore and fun you have with volunteers. The surgery is informal and humour is important. Today in DOVE Colin and Doug were helping a client with annoying error boxes appearing every time windows starts. Colin has previously run anti-virus and anti-spyware so the "programs" were still trying to start, but as they had been deleted so Windows could not find them. Colin was reading the error message and Doug was typing in to google search, Colin: capital B-T-H, lower case e-l-p, capital N, lower case o-t-i-f-e-r-dot-e-x-e, which was fine, but tickled me. When Doug has finished the google search, the program could have been spyware, which has been deleted. The recommendation was to goto the registry and delete the program from the run registry key, I couldn't resist asking Colin to Start>Run>type in regedit press enter, then say he could type in B-T-H-e-l-p-N-o-t-i-f-e-r-.-e-x-e or BT Help Notifier . Exe without spaces, as I've know Colin for over 18 months he got the funny side!
