Pardon my language, but...What in the f uck is this? I've never heard of Eggheads, or any of that until a few days ago when I start up my computer and something pops up looking similar to the command prompt. It says bunch of stuff about an eggdrop, Eggheads, and a Robey Pointer. And in the task manager processes, an eggdrop.exe is there. So, tell me, what is this 'eggdrop' and why the hell is it on my computer?!

It's on your computer because you or someone with access to your computer installed what is called a 'Windrop'. It did not get there all by its little self btw. Razz

What is an Eggdrop?

kill the process, search for eggdrop.exe and remove the whole folder. Also, make sure you secure your computer so no one can access it and install applications on it.

Dear TheAnarchistRebel,
There's nothing enough bad that you describe your problem with a little abusive language, read carefuly what Alchera answerd i.e. "It's on your computer because you or someone with access to your computer installed it." Its a program and cannot install or execute itself. Check your system security might be someone else have access and using computer on your back.

How do I get it off?
Press CTRL+ALT+DEL
then Click on Task Manager
Click on Processes in Windows Task Manager
Move your mouse pointer on eggdrop.exe, right click on it and click End Process.

-REGARDS-

Thanks, and sorry about the language. I was just pretty worried, since really my computer is my life...heh. Anything were to go wrong with it, I'd have basically nothing since there really is nothing to do where I live. And, I'm pretty attached to my computer.
