It is spyware and certain sites will upload this to your computer without you knowing. It monitors all your site activity and reports it back to their company. Here is how to remove it, this is an excellent program. Just dl it and run it and it will show up in a list highlighted in red. You will then "quarantine" the item. Good luck
