Macrovision???

Hi guys;

 

A bit off topic...

 

Yesterday, I uninstalled Trend Micro from my 720 (because of several annoyances with the stripped down version) and reverted to Kaspersky 2009 which I was running before.

 

After installation, Kaspersky notified me at boot time that Macrovision was loading at boot and it was defined at "high risk".  I see several entries in msconfig for Macrovision and I understand that it is some function of installshield.

 

I don't see a means to uninstall this, but does someone know its function and whether or not I should disable it from auto starting at boot time?

 

Thanks!

There are no problems with removing it from the startup routine in the MSCONFIG. I've done before without any issues. All it does is automatically search for updates for a select group of programs. Nothign to worry about. :smileyhappy:
