For a friend who wrote this:

"What is it? Can someone access my info through this program?

Sorry, I Googled but just don't have the knowledge needed. It's on a new computer that I just brought home. Thanks. "

I Googled too, and just as lost as she is.

Thanks

I never heard of Scanshop but what I get from google is that it may be scanner software. The name does imply scanner photo manipulation of some sort. It could also be a component from a scanner/printer/fax software bundle.

Thanks, isteve! Seeing as it "came with the box", it sounded safe, but wanted Geek Back-up for reassuring her.
Brand new Mac and saw a reference to SnowLeopard, so wondering if its something that comes with the newest OS??

Scanshop doesn't come installed from Apple. It had to be installed by a vendor or part of a printer/scanner software package. Some vendors will bundle printers or cameras when they sell a mac and install software and driver packages to make it simple for their customers.

Ah-ha! Well, that's obviously what happened, thanks Steve
