So I noticed this was using 50% processor power at times slowing my computer down (noticeably when opening/closing programs).

I have noticed programs running slow when closing (then trying to do something else in windows which would take several seconds).

Hmm, after doing some research I reported the exact same problem in IE7 Problem thread I made.

Damn, I hate that spyware. No wonder my computer has been running like crap lately. Must have gotten installed again when I installed Close Combat: A bridge too far game a while ago.

I'm so pissed about it. I now have to hack through the registry to get rid of it and the files in windows folder.

Has anyone sued that company yet?

You got spyware during a default software install . . considering it wasn't Sony that weird.. . :P

Yah, and close combat was a Microsoft game. Although they probably got someone else to distribute it several years ago after initial release.

I think it is weird that on my old computer it would use 50% CPU and on my new computer it would use 50% CPU almost all the time. What is it doing that it needs 50% CPU all the time? It's a 10 year old game/spyware.

I don't think the spyware programs pick it up either.
