    It seems a MP plugin

    It is installed into the Multiprocessing folder (inside the extension folder) and it contains the following codes:
    - PowerSurge2PPlugin (10K)
    - G3Plugin (16K)
    - Core99Plugin (49K)

    Does anyone have any suggestions to how I can get this update when Software Update fails because my Verizon DSL quits when Software Update installs files?
