Hi and welcome to Geeks to Go.
Dr. Watson can be helpful, although I've never had to use it. How did your grandson delete it?

Apparently he went to microsoft and they had an article on how to remove it from the registry. He skipped the steps on how to save it, and it seems to be gone. I'm unclear as to just what it does, but I gather it's a malware protector. He complained it kept coming up when he was on IE and shut him out. Several scans by different spyware programs don't show a problem.
If it's important, I'd like to get it back.
