Pchealth Argh

[Greencow_555]

I dont know where it came from, it appears to be authentic from what I found on google. But it is seriously doing my head in. My computer is running perfectly, and when I am playing games online everything is spot on, until PCHEALTH inteferes by minimising my game, which take a while anyway, and telling me some crap about my computer not running a full capacity.

The only problem I have with my machine is pchealth continously interrupting my games to tell me I have a problem.

There isn't any obvious way to remove pchealth or shut it down

can anyone help?

Thanks muchly

No, I should have said. Its not on the add/remove programs list, nor does it get detected by adware programs probably because its a microsoft program. I even get a little flashing icon on the tray at the bottom right of the screen, but I can't select anything from it, nor does it show a name if you hold the mouse over it.

Its really annoying and nothing I've found on google is very useful.

ARGH: it just went again,hahah.

Anyway, thats doesn't seem to be an option. Thanks for the quick reply tho.
