For what it's worth, I just experienced an issue with Sonic today. My primary computer took a dump, so I dug out an older 2005/6 Dell XP computer to use temporarily. As I was setting it up, Sonic began trying to access the 'net for install files, even though it wasn't even online. Sonic basically highjacked the machine. I had to force stop it with task manager. In my case, I believe it was hidden in the Dell B/U files and it just auto started. It took me an hour to find an obscure Sonic reference in a file and delete it. CCleaner cleaned up the registry, but it was a pain. I hate being ambushed by hidden commercial software that is imbedded by the manufacturer.
