i believe it was a semi-spyware program that installed itself by stowing away on kazaa when i installed that. basically its a icon at the bottom thats two white computers together, and when u open it it seems harmless enough but it seems to raise a red flag with some spyware cleaning programs. spybot never seems to do anything about it, and i use spysubtract which allows me to delete it but then the program runs again when for some reason. i just switched off the run on startup option but is there anyway i can get rid of it period? and is it safe to get rid of it?

why don't you just delete and reinstall if it all goes apeshit?
