Is there anything I can do to get this thing to stop trying to find 
"fwbackup"?.....I don't like the thought of things running in the back 
rooms of my computer without my explicit consent!...LoL! (Coming from a 
Windows environment where all kinds of "executables" might have been 
running and I'd never know until the Trojan that "delivered" them to my 
PC decided to take a break and let them run rampant!) I mean unless it's 
absolutely necessary, and I don't see how it can be since I've never 
installed....or run any command for Fwbackup....can't I delete the 
command?....or the file in the folder where it lives?....
