>>>>>>>>>>>Hi,
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>A few days ago I installed software that came with a digital camera. The software is for downloading pictures from the camera. But I suppose this CD (from camera company) came with some other programs that got installed. One is really is getting on my nerves. Now Comodo reports that "c:\Program Files\Common Files\ArcSoft\Connection Server\Bin\ArcCon.ac has loaded ArcBmh.dll .." And this creates a problem with my Outlook. So I want to kill this program (ArcCon.ac). Do you think simply deleting it from the drive is the way to go? I did uninstall the program ArcSoft (like a parent of this service) in the Add/Remove programs. I also checked in Service and found ArcSoft Connect Daemon there but it has not been started. But this ArcCon.ac still keeps coming up. What would you recommend? TIA.

I think it's your best bet
