More Realplayer crap. You can get rid of it only by uninstalling Realplayer. I just tell my firewall not to let it out but it is still very persistant.

RealAudio aggressively tries to install running processes on the machine. It is one of the worst. The most recent version is very deceptive. Unfortunately it is needed because many media files only play with it, and they are common. The RealAudio player is OK, but other stuff which gets loaded is spyware. After installing RealAudio be sure and go through configuration screens and uncheck any automatic updates or automatic transfers. They hide some at the bottom of scrolling windows so look at everything. When finished, make a "save" folder off \Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB and move realsched.exe, realevent.exe, and rnathchk.exe to that folder. Be sure they do not exist in their original folder. Even though everything is unchecked these processes still load. Get a good process viewer. They are free. Learn how to use it and become familiar with all running processes. Research anything you don't know what it is. Go to Google.com and just type in the file name of the running process surrounded by quotes. Usually you can find out everything you need to know that way.
