What is OPTIMIZE.EXE? My firewall is catching it trying to access the internet and I want to be sure it is safe to approve.

It's undoutedly not something good. Do a search for "optomize.exe" on your favorite browser. I would do it for you, but I'm to lazy right now.

Optimize.exe is a virus.The icon is a round funny face like a moon.It won't optimize anything.The virus name is W32 Downloader.Dyfuca.Use F-Prot from dos to get rid of it or else don't open this virus hidden as an exe file. It is from: http://cdn.climaxbucks.com/internet-optimizer/br/wsi16/*.exe This is not a link.Good luck.
