Carbonite Sneaks in
While I was updating an old Dell 600M running Windows XP that I did
not have on for several months, a program named Carbonite download
itself automatically onto my desktop. I did not have the virus
software running as it was being updated also.
It apparently did not actually install itself, but it would not let me
delete it.
When I googled Carbonite, expecting to see a reference to Carbonite as
a virus issue, I saw that it was a legit online backup service.
Has anyone else had this experience with Carbonite?
