I was looking at the "Add or Remove Programs" and I noticed that 2 entries
recently appeared: "CC_ccStart" and "ccCommon". I have no idea what these
are and they don't have the "Change/Remove" button that other installed
programs have. Firstly, I'd like to know how I can find out the location of
these files. Secondly, I'd like to know what they are, if possible, and if
they are a security risk. My browser may have been high jacked recently,
there were a few moments when I was surfing a website and IE froze for about
15-30 seconds and then came back. I think they appreared after that. The
only other thing I did was install CuteFTP 6 Home, but they do not seem to be
related. Thanks in advance.
