This file also goes by msdt.exe in the ieupdates folder.
it will remove special privs to not allow uninstall. The folder is automatically hidden as well. the program is a key and click logger. so if you have it on your computer after you remove it change all of your passwords everywhere. Other hidden locations created by this program as follows DNTException,IECompatCache,iecompatuaCache,IEDownloadHistory,IETldCache,PrivacIE. hope this helps everyone

Just a revision this program also includes itself into the scheduled tasks to activate itself every minutes. even if you change the setting it will reset them back to every minute. This program will not remove it but does detect it just fyi
