   It's a potential problem with any application that tries to "clean" =

you will = find people describing the fix for all sorts of problems with =
anti-spyware apps like AdAware and SpyBot and even some AV apps.  That =
there is a command to clean up is all that distinguishes this from many =

      FWIW

       It appears that some individuals that have installed the beta of =
