"ProSeries uses this file in there Tool Hub - (here is a link to how Intuit is telling you how to uninstall this NON ESSENTIAL add on program"

it's important to know when a program access the web through an internal browser function, such as you might have come to this forum through a ProSeries function that is part of the Help system. However, many of us use this community through our own web browser directly.

And that's important because you never know, from the Web, when your system is at risk from a hack attempt.

Let's take this, for instance:"Since the CS person could not tell me if ProSeries needed this file to function properly, I took more of my valuable time to research this further. ProSeries uses this file in there Tool Hub - (here is a link to how Intuit is telling you how to uninstall this NON ESSENTIAL add on program:"

Let's examine the part I highlighted, by using a "whois" search on that website you linked.

It doesn't seem to be Intuit at all. It is registered in RO:

Registrant Contact
Organization: Innovative Solutions GRUP
 
Country: RO
 

"ro is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Romania."

So, you risk downloading a removal tool that is corrupt or a bad actor.

Sorry; just thought you should understand this a bit more.
