    I've googled the following and haven't gotten a satisfactory answer.
    What is Ag Core Service? It's in a folder C:\Program Files\AGI.
    Is it, I hope, a Windows Vista sp2 service.

    Thanks,
    James

    I would'nt have thought any Vista service, if service is what you realy
    mean, would install to program files.
    If you examine properties of the files does that not reveal anything?

    It shows in Services as AGCoreService.

    Properties of files and folders tell me nothing except that the folder was
    created on June 9, 2009.

  5. It's related to he python programming language. Something is using it since
    I got updates to it installed at 7am this morning. There seem to be
    references to Visual C++. Baffles me too what program is using it.

    I went into services and disabled it. I'll see if any of my programs
    complain.

    Re: AGI Core 3.0

    I just accessed my account today at EGreetings.com which I hadn't used for
    some time and found that I had to download their desktop search toolbar in
    order to send ecards...which was a new request. I do not like unnecessary
    tool bars so I decided to uninstall the program with Revo Uninstaller and
    found the that the AGI Core 3.0 had been downloaded to my computer as
    "C:\Program File\AGI\core\3.0\AGApplicationInstaller.exe." It was downloaded
    on this date when I was using E Greetings. I believe it is an application
    used by Egreetings for their visuals and apps. I am leaving it for now but
    can always disable it at "services" as James did and see what happens.

    I am new at this so please check my post on July 4th for my experience with
    AG Core. AG Core was added when I downloaded an EGreetings toolbar. So you
    might want to check recent downloads for "interactive" type software. I run
    Windows XP Pro but it probably is the same with Vista.

    I ran into it a week ago when it crashed the pc twice- looked
    in task manager, and there it was, chewing up 50-80% of my cpu.
    Properties was no help, so I googled it & found y'all!

    With the Egreetings clue, I found that it 1st appeared when I updated
    WebShots. They are owned by American Greetings:

    © 2008 AGC, Inc. All trademarks are property of AG.com Inc. unless
    otherwise noted. All Rights Reserved.
    Inserted from <http://www.aginteractive.com/about_history.html>

    (About 8 other boards much techier than I can ever be are talking about
    malware, reformatting, dangers of disabling a Vista service... you are
    the only one that had a clue!)
    I've had Webshots since they started, 12-15 years? and would miss it,
    but unless I can run it without AGInterference, I'm out of there. It's
    not just the trouble it causes, but the sneaky way it flies
    un-identifiably under the radar.

    > Hi Bib.........Interesting info you came up with.....confirmed my suspicion regarding AG dumping on my computer. I completely removed the AGCore 3.0 from my computer awhile back. I just went to American Greetings to send a card and see if it required the AG Core and it didn't but I did notice that the webpage is now MSN Greetings with AG as an affiliate. Sent cards fine without any request for a toolbar and AGCore 3.0 has not shown up on my system. Maybe they wised up when they found out people were dumping their website. Bugs me too when these websites dump applications on your computer...especially when you don't know it. Going to go to the AG interference website and check it out. I have learned that anytime my system starts acting weird that it is connected with a download or web application...the "fun" part is figuring it out. Thanks for the extra info.
