Googling for "tadvchecklist" brings me only one site in some Nordick
language that I can't read. It does look to be a PC support site and I
can see the English word "spyware" in the posts. Therefore, I think we
can assume there is a good chance you have some crud on your machine.

Possibly spyware. Do you run spyware removal software?

Hi,

A quick search seems to show that it is a file used to customize searches on
an older Borland software program. Any chance you have something like this
installed?
