Security Utility in 5.23 install package?

*Someone's* sure got an attitude! Wally, lose it.

It's on an inhouse, non-critical system, not a client's, or I'd have worked harder at finding and removing it. No Add/Remove, no program group, regedit didn't find "security monitor", no package had been DLed, this forum had nothing useful, and the 10 minutes I was willing to spend were up.

"No" stops IE, and it's not malicious spyware, so it doesn't return and even the best ASW programs (SS,SD) don't flag or remove it. It's just an annoyance, but a lot of people here thought it was merely a shortcut. Was letting them know the more suspicious among them were correct.

Yeah, that was 5.32 and was removed in 5.33. I thought it odd that although Nullsoft apparently recognized it was a bad idea, the subsequent versions don't clean it up.

Wally, if you want, I think I have the old package to send you so you can configure your own system to block the script, install only the stub, waste your own time, and then enlighten all of us.
