This is my personal computer at home. It is not a member of a domain. It's
the only member of a workgroup called WORKGROUP (installation default, I
believe). I have not installed any VPN client software from my company,
either. This is the standard Windows VPN client that I occasionally use to
remote desktop to a computer at work.

Is there a particular entry in the Add/Remove programs list that would have
included this?

Thanks.
