Jholland1964,
You have helped me many times before on this forum, and I hope to be of help here. Silverlight is a Microsoft Update that can be gotten from update.microsoft.com. Maybe Silverlight got downloaded and installed "by itself" if orange gojo had Automatic Updates turned on?
Personally, I have avoided installing it until I learned more about it. Funny thing . . . I came to this forum tonight to do just that, and after a search for Silverlight, I got this single thread about orange gojo's problem. Maybe it's the old Microsoft Devil at work?
When I check that Microsoft Update site, it shows the following as an Optional Software update.
=======================================
Microsoft Silverlight 1.0 (KB946609)
Download size: 1.8 MB , less than 1 minute
Microsoft Silverlight is a lightweight browser plug-in for Internet Explorer and Firefox that blends animation, audio/video, and interactivity to deliver richer Web site experiences.

Clicking on the "Details..." link on the MS Update site, I get this:
