SO I'm cleaning out alot of the junk on my computer and removing programs I no longer use. I was lookin through my add/remove programs list and I came to a program called HyperLoad, now, I have scanned my computer numerous times for viruses, and I had a major one not too long ago that I got rid of. But I don't know what this "HyperLoad" program is. I've looked all thoguh my comp and haven't even found files that seem to have the name "Hyperload" in them. But I still do not want to delete a program that I may need... Can someone please help me out and maybe tell me if it is possibly spyware or a virus?

Try searching for it on http://www.google.com or http://www.download.com. It might just be a simple file you downloaded for a reason awhile ago, and forgot its purpose. What version / kind of virus scanner are you using? Does it have updated definitions? Is your computer acting weird in any way?
There was a game named HyperLoad, but can't remember much more about it.

What is Hyperload?
Hyperload is a version of a game that resides on your hard drive instead of our web server. You download the game ONCE instead of each time you play the game. After that you can play the game with no download waiting time. Hyperload places most of the game files for that particular game on your computer with a one-time download to your hard drive. These files are not placed in your browser's file cache so even clearing your browser cache does not interfere with the Hyperload files. Then the next time you go online to play that game on our site, you'll start playing right away!
