I also looked in the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs and there is no entry for the MTLDB "program" that was installed. I looked for an uninstall method and couldn't find anything. Did I miss something or is it my imagination that the MTLDB test code or registry entries must be manually removed?

We know the Computer Horizons was sold, how much control do you have over Declude these days? That depends on how you define "control" (no, I'm not a politician!). In this case, the level of control isn't clearly defined. The transition of management can be tricky, and needs to be handled carefu

Why does this thing need ICMP? I don't know of other "LiveReg"-type stuff requiring access on a port other than the port on which the registration server _actually_ runs on. Apparently, it pings the server to make sure that it is reachable, and if the ping doesn't come back, it is assumed
