Comment:
I have 2 instances of CLI.exe running in the background. CLI.exe is the systray application for the ATI CCC app. When I do a "netstat -a" it shows that one of them has a lot of connections open to "ads.datingyes.com" When I do a regedit search on CLI.exe I don't find anything out of the ordinary. That is to say nothing but ATI references that seem legit.
If I close the right CLI.exe in task manager the connections stop but eventually come back. If I close the wrong CLI.exe the systray icon for CCC quits.
Has anyone had any experience with this? It seems odd that I cannot find anything on-line about this issue. It looks suspiciously like ATI has some spyware installed on my system or a rogue application has semi taken control of CLI.exe.
