0 rr_dRock Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=12948 That deals with it... the SMINST folder seemed to be on a lot of HP computers when I was searching.soft thinks launcher seems to have something to do with SoftThinks PC Angel. Here's their webpage. http://www.softthinks.com/pc_angel.html Also,this is on Castlecops services list: http://www.castlecops.com/o23list-2384.html If you go to C:\WINDOWS\SMINST\,you should probably see PCAngel.exe in there.
