click stream = compuserve?

I was trying to install Flash Player, but the installer kept telling me I had "CompuServe" running, and needed to close it. I do not have CompuServe loaded. Nor running. Nor AOL. Huh?

One of the wunnerful ladies over on the NFP board asked to see a screenshot of my task manager (the processes tab, since the applications tab was empty). When I did that, I remarked, in case she'd ask, that the "cs" showing on the process list was click stream, not compuserve. On a whim, though, I decided to close out that process (I'd been meaning to uninstall that anyhow). Lo and behold, Flash Player installed.

So apparently anything that says "cs" = CompuServe. Heh.

(Off to uninstall that clickstream thing anyways. And yes, it was something I did intentionally install.)
