Sad part is the patch that they are pushing out via their website

see what exactly they are doing to our machine when they "patch" it? As there isn't an actual executable that can be taken apart and
analyzed?

Strange, what's this?

A window open on my machine that says:
IDA - C:\text\CodeSupport.ocx - [IDA View-A]

I'd better stare at it for a while.
