I found ths on my desk top
When I logged on as admin, I was doing some clean up and I notice the icon for this was sitting on my desktop. Was created about 2 years ago and seems to be from a company called Business Logic. Some sort of clean and optimize software. is this part of SPYBOT S&D? I did not see it in program files or anywhere else except the desktop and
C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming
C:\Users\ADMIN\AppData\Roaming

I tried to reasearch it on google but i find nothing on the actual exe file.

Might it have something to do with SpyBOT S&D?
I think it was created at the sametime I first downloaded SPYBOT back in 2008. So I wonder if it was something assciated with the optimizing function of SpyBOT?
I deleted the desktop icon and and the two othe entries I noted above. I did not see anything in task manager on this.

Any help on
1. What is it?
2. Is it safe?
3. Is it ok That I deleted it?

will be appreciated

No,that file has nothing to do with Spybot.
marktreg answered yesterday on the Malwarebytes forums and suggested that UWC2002.exe might be the .exe for Ultra WinCleaner 2002,from Business Logic Corp.Do you have that installed,or does the name ring a bell?

Is Ultra WinCleaner 2002,from Business Logic Corp. A legit product? Or is it one of those that pretends to be a help but is really malware?

I don't remember installing it, but years back we got a disk from an IT person at the HS that had spybot of it, so maybe they also included the WinCleaner
(that might account for why it is older, we installed first time spybot back in 2008)
Is Ultra WinCleaner 2002 a registry cleaner?
