One of my sister’s grandchildren downloaded some music (I think) software to my sister’s computer. Now she is plagued by what she calls a never ending stream of garbage concerning the Sonic Download Manager. I’m supposed to take a look at her computer later this week; she thinks I’m an expert since I know how to turn a computer on and off. So, what is this Sonic stuff all about? Is it dangerous? Should she hire a real expert to clean her computer? What should I tell her?
This guy looks like he had the same problem -

Having read through the linked thread, I’ll admit to being unclear what he actually did to fix it, but some other posters offer advice.
I think “For any others, I rid myself of the problem by uninstalling the update manager and stopping all Sonic/Roxio programs from running at startup.” looks the best bet.
