interesting computer problem... Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

Okay, so something is creating a folder under the program files folder named "microsoft frontpage" just like that, lowercase and everything. there is a folder, version 3.0 in it, which has a bin folder in it. all empty, all size 0. I can't delete it without going into safe mode, but as soon as i get back to normal, it's there again. any ideas?

I have this too. It is probably something to do with Windows. I think it's always been on this computer from day 1.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

hey, you never know :-p and winston, i don't think there is any harm. I just saw it and knew i hadn't installed frontpage, and it wouldn't let me delete it, so it threw up a red flag for me.
