G GasMan Oct 7, 2004 #4 Probably something you do not want, judging by the name. Kill it in the processes. Use Adaware or Spybot Search & Destroy or both to find and get rid of it. Use Hijack this if all else fails. Make sure you AV program is uptodate. If you do not have one get AVG from www.grisoft.com I found it running in my task manager XP Pro + service pack 1 any ideas?
