If you havnt scanned your computer yet you probably have some SpyWare/AddWare on it. Get this crap away! It is monitoring you! You often get spyware by installing free software or downloading driver archives. I know alot of Creative/SoundBlaster driver archives install "GAIN/Gator" on your computer... and have you ever read the user agreement in CuteFTP?
Just did a scan.. and wtf! GAIN is insalled once again!
I dont want to be monitored! I dont want popups with adds that fits my "profile".
