Good afternoon, I did not installed EXIFTOOL (not volontary sure...) If I look the apps or services mounted in memory, there is 6 or 8 instances of exiftool.exe (each about 15 megs plus or minus). If I begin to close one by one, suddenly 2 or 3 closes at the same time. I am using ZoneAlarm security suite:: if I say "I do not autorize the launch of exiftool.exe", then 15 minutes or so after that there is still 5 ou 6 new instances of exiftool. If I do a search on my HDD, I find instances of exiftool in a temp dirnamed PAR-user or user-PAR I do not remember.... The I delete all found. I do a registry search for the text "exiftool" without "" of course. I find 2 or 3 locations that I delete; I reboot and it starts again.... Any ideas ???? I use Vista Home Premium Sp1, 2 megs memory. Many thanks Henri cazeault@gmail.com
