Sorry, flustered, but your misunderstanding what's going on. First, a process monitor monitors everything that's going on on your computer, regardless of what activated it or put it there in the first place. I'm not trying to offend you, but the way you put it makes me think that you may have not realized that you'd already gotten some of this stuff on your machine and it all didn't - I can absolutely assure you that it didn't ALL - come from the GOTD wrapper. Also, some of the things you sited are obviously natural parts of any install. I say this respectfully - but I must say it - perhaps you should have done some web research on some of this stuff before you assumed that most of it came from the GOTD wrapper. For example, all the entries concerning Windows Defender are natural parts of Defender's operation. Part of what Defender always does to try and make sure no malware - including from ANY installer - got on to your system. And Defender comes from Microsoft. It's built in to Vista, for example. And the placing of things into a temporary directory that came out of the orginal zip file is a function of whatever zip software you use - quite probably of Microsoft's own zip handling routine, in your case. Any install that encompass a zip archive - as Arcamania uses whether your get it from GOTD or not - is going to create those files.
The way to determine what an installer actually puts on your machine is not to use a process monitor, but an install analyzer. Here's one built into an uninstall utility. I currently use it just to analyze installs, because I use Revo Uninstall, which I feel is an even better uninstaller.
ZSoft Uninstaller: http://www.zsoft.dk/index.php?goto=software_details&prog_id=4
Others here can suggest even better install analyzers. I just haven't gotten around to upgrading, yet.
Again, we're not trying to give you a hard time. But, if you run an install analyzer, you'll get results a LOT closer to what Buzz posted. As I've said in this forum more than once, IMHO Microsoft frequently embraces complication for the sake of complication (one of the things I think mortally wounded Vista) and practically anything you do on your machine will trigger all sorts of arcane and, ocassionally, possibly unnecessary processes. It's like all those post apocalyptic Sci-Fi movies where the government offices look beautiful, but most of the population lives in rusting, collapsing squalor. Call it the decaying condition of the Evil Empire.
