    Application info:
    Company "Lione"

    Can you kill it?

    Do you have a non-standard mouse?

    I have a logitech specific program that runs at boot time.

    A google for "lione" and "mouse" hits on animal research, which would make me nervous about its intentions. It's also exactly 20KB in size 20 * 2 ^ 10 = 20480. That would make me nervous too.

    Standard USB mouse. Yes, I can kill it, with no obvious effect to system or mouse usage... let's see.

    Just ran it manually - got "Runtime error '53': File not found".

    Innocuous, but for the Windows AntiSpyware Notice: "The Internet Explorer URL for your Start Page is attempting to be changed from about:blank to http:\\www.sogooogle.com."

    I'm running Norton Internet Security (incl anti-spyware), Spybot SnD, MS Anti-spyware beta, and manually scanning with Lavasoft Adaware - and none of them picked this up :)
