Going through my startups I noticed the program shadow, with no info on what it does or where it comes from. A Google search shows some sites calling it a dangerous trojan and others saying it's a valuable backup tool. Anyone know for sure which? Thanks. Beebonh

if its the backup tool then you must have installed the software, because it didnt come with w98 or any other version. i vote for the trojan
