hey all, sorry if this is in the wrong area...

as you may know i'm more of a mac guy, but I have a PC here at work. - not important - I'm just not familiar with Windows .exe files, except that I know alot of viruses are/were .exe's...

Can someone please check in your

c:/Programs/Adobe/Photoshop/plugins

folder and see if you have a file called UNWISE.EXE.

any idea what the hell this is? should I delete it? I think I should, but it may be neccessary for something... OR how can I find out where it came from or what it is? The properties doesn't tell me jack squat.

thank you

yes my theory on that is some smarty schientist decided it would be funny to call the uninstall program unwise.exe so people would be rebellious and uninstall their programs while he sits back laughing and drinking coffee?

WISE is a company that makes a software installer packaging program. You use it to package software so you can, well, install it. UNWISE is their uninstaller.
