I don't recall installing it, and I can't find a .cab file from which it was installed (and I'm obsessive about keeping and organizing cabs). I'd thought if I tried reinstalling it would first uninstall and that would kill it, but I don't seem to be able to do that without the original cab. I did grab the current trial version from the Astraware site, but get the "previous version cannot be removed" error message.
I saw the same program on my phone yesterday - and I know I never installed it and can't figure out how to get rid of it. Neither MemMaid or SKTools show it in the list of installed programs. For now I'm just leaving it on my phone. It told me I had to register to continue to play, but that doesn't seem to be true. It's very, very weird. - sheureka
