Hi all,

Any idea what DOSMAIN.EXE is? I've been trying to troubleshoot a problem on a computer, and I notice DOSMAIN.EXE in the processes, and it's sucking up a heavy 80,000-82,000 KB. It seems to appear as soon as a user starts surfing the web, and it builds up until it his that low 80,000KB mark. The computer slows down immensly. Anyone know what it is? I haven't been able to google it, and when I shut it down, it just comes right back on.

A possibly related item is that whenever the internet browser (IE) encounters an error (like a mis-typed internet address), the browser immediately tries to redirect to a site entitled grandstreetinteractive.com These could be completely unrelated, I'm not sure.
Any ideas or suggestions?
