This will make you feel worse.     
               
Qbdagent2001 and Axelbridge are Marimba Castanet programs.
Even if automatic update is off and you remove them from
startup menus they load when QB2001 does. If you remove 
or rename them you get serious error messages and this
may make it unsafe to use QB. These programs send Intuit 
lots of information. They can be made to send it all the 
information about you & your system, including the result
of a full disk scan.

This probably relates to QB2001 using about twice as much 
memory (32mb) as QB2000. It also relates to slow startup 
& needing a 64mb systems to run 2001 decently. Finally, 
it may relate to the memory leak that was not fully fixed 
with the R2 upgrade.

Axelbridge shuts down soon after you exit QB. HOWEVER, 
Qbdagent stays in memory until you reboot, even if you 
shut down QB. I suggest using Close Program or Task 
Manager (^ ALT DEL) to shut it manually.

I will soon have a complete Intuit Privacy page dealing 
with many documented violations and related lawsuits.

Qtable should be upgraded in plenty of time.
