There seem to be no other cases I can find online where there as an issue. You
cannot recall the details of what led up to the error -- it should have had an
error messages. It is even possible you downloaded some other app with that name.
I would not be concerned with it.

Thank you for your comment and advice.
Do you use ANY of Dr. Oakley's tools?

Not familiar with them. Are there any you use and recommend?
I have used ALL of his tools at one time or another.
They give great insight into the workings of one's computer.
For now, though, I am using NONE of HO's tools.

Did I already show you a screenshot?
