I noticed this on my system, and wonder what our "aces" opinion is of this
program? Shall I delete it? If so, how?

Glad you asked this question. I was wondering the same thing 2 days
ago. My research (= 5 minutes) seems to indicate it will make Internet
surfing and private information on your PC more secure. I don't know
anyone, however, who has used it. "Long live newsgroups".

Thank you - I'm in the dark about this, too. Found it on my Control Panel,
which irks me no end. It wasn't there the last time I looked, which is not
long ago!!

Don't worry about the control panel applet but do *disable* the service. It
only helps you to login securely over a network.

Never have used autoupdates nevertheless 'cardspace' appeared on my control
panel.

It was part of an SP3 update. Totally useless IMO, but only the USER can
make that decision based on their own needs wants and experience. It also
conflicts with a past-used file extension from Windows Cardfile back in the
95/98 era (and which I still use) and steals the file association.
