re: caution

Yes, SMSS.exe is a necessary Windows file. But after installing Boombox, I had two SMSS.exe files running. Found them both and deleted the fake one, along with the fake Configsys folder with the pop.html file inside. I was getting popups to install Casino software. I had read that Boombox might have adware bundled with it. I used Adaware, Pest Patrol and Spybot Search and Destroy to check the downloaded file and to check my computer after the install. None of these found the adware and I thought my computer was safe...ha.
