[ActiveSupport]

A simple search on Google doesn't find anything for this file which runs on my machine at startup.

I have problems with the machine slowing down progressively after a re-start. Even the system clock runs slow (by up to 20 minutes in an hour!)

I have ZoneAlarm running and had it do a full scan, and have run a Spybot search and destroy. I just have this file 'EDowST3.exe' that I can't find out what it is.

Any ideas?
