Possible spam, spyware?

Hi all. I just took a look at program list in the control panel
(win 2000 at work) and it showed a program called
"ORG50" Anyone here ever hear of if? I googled it in and
found nothing seeming to do with a computer, environmental stuff
but nothing indicating a program. Don't want to kill it if its needed for
my dell comp at work but I don't recognize it either. Thanks for
any help. BTW the program is 4.29 Mbytes.

The top Google result may give you a clue...

Well I solved the riddle. Its not that! The previous owner of this
comp used a program called ORIGIN 50, a math analysis suite
for graphing and predo analysis, etc. A junior version of
Mathmatica.

Firefox: Tools -> Options -> Privacy:
Click all the Clear buttons.

If you still use IE then you deserve to be caught.

If you use IE, go to tools, internet options and the new window
box comes up and the general tab has a box that says clear history.

Just go to start programs and it should be in there. Run it and enlighten yourself 😲😲😲

Some programs you dont WANT to run! Looking, well , oggling
the one implied by google, left me with, as my romanian boss says,
"limited enthusiasm" to start the program for fear of trojans,
keyloggers, etc., all the crudware that creeps into your system.
I finally got up the nerve after using norton antivirus on that folder
and found out it was indeed a mathematical graphing and analysis
program used by the previous owner, a PhD in Chemistry, so I
feel a bit better now!
