after my 11 year old cousin had been on it, and now there is this new program. The icon is a little red cat or somethin?? Also, its close to 30 mgb. What the heck is it? Can I delete it?

    The viewer that comes with XP is better, but if you're using an older OS then Irfanview is a fine image viewer.

    Actually it is something for photos. Have you ever tried to download one of your photos for a website and it said it was too large? Well this program helps to resize photos among other things you can do with it. And it is harmless.

    Its actually used to view websites. It is something that probably came up if your cousin was playing games/searching the internet. Go to start, control panel, add or remove programs, go down to irfanview and click change/remove you dont need it on your computer if that doesnt work...email me: owenmtoomey@yahoo.com and ill take you from there

    30 Mb? Unless your cousin saved pictures within the same folder, the entire folder should only be around 10Mb.

    he probably started a myspace profile, to put your pic on there you have to use that prog to size the pic.

    DO NOT delete it - if you don't want it, UNINSTALL it. However, it is a great image editor and is totally free. If you don't have an image editor [as opposed to a mere image viewer], you should keep it. 30 mb is nothing, but the program itself is only about 7-8 mb, so probably the program folder has stuff in it like pics. And it sure can come in very handy, indeed. Never delete installed programs - they must be uninstalled, either from the uninstall feature a program may offer on its shortcut in All Programs, or from Control Panel, Add/Remove.

    It's a freeware graphics program. You can delete it if you'd like, but it doesn't sound harmful. Here's a review:

    its good for resizing photos.. but if you want to get rid of it, go to start, settings/tools and click add/delete programs. find it, and delete it//
