I was looking at my control panel for uneeded programs to uninstall. I didn't see anything I wanted to uninstall.
I have another program that also is an uninstaller and in that program Is a program listed I did not recognize nor is it listed in the windows control panel. It is called "BUM" All the other programs have a green check mark next to them indicting they are safe to uninstall. this has a yellow one meaning to remove with caution.I do not recall downloadinga program by this name.
I went online to search what the program could be and have found nothing. Why would windows control panel not show it and is it maybe a spyware? Spybot says my computer is clear as does my anti virus program
I have had problems lately with my computer turning on by itself which made me start looking.

Do a search for BUM in the c:\program files folder. The folder that it's in might give a clue. Also look through the folder to see if there's any clues there.

It sounds kinda suspicious to me.

Do yourself a favor BACKUP!

I saw that when I googled earlier but I never downloaded that. I checked with Cox cable and that is not part of their software for my internet access so I am stumped!
