| Thanks for the link Hob....maybe Microsoft put something in their security updates to let'em know if another virus is raising hell with internet....is that possible ya think?...Damn...I don't know whether to delete it or not.

rule of thumb. if you don't know what it is where it came from and who sent it don't install it. |

I agree. I hate spyware / software that just gets installed with shareware or freeware without one's knowledge...  |

Following the links, it appears it is part of Windows. Maybe make a post at AdAware's support forums, see what they say http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/ . Maybe it's a false positive
