I downloaded a fresh copy of TLB from your site, deleted the previous file and so far it looks ok. I am not sure if the file I downloaded earlier was adulterated or if the site I downloaded from used an activex control that I inadvertently let run the adware when I downloaded it previously. If I can find a good install logger, I may retrace my steps and see where I picked it up. It’s rather agressive and sneaky.. I apologize for implicating your program. Given current status, the origin is unclear.

After I run it for a while, I may decide that the “unregistered” popup every so often is worth the $20 to get rid of.

Thank you for your attention in this.
