Trickler_4010*****???

Any one got any idea what this file is - for the last week, according to my firewall, this program has been trying to access the internet. It is a 233 Kb file, with a .dll in the temp directory. I tried to delete it but was denied, so I popped up the task manager, and sure enough the program was running. I ended it, and deleted it.. Now I want to know what it is????

Do a Google search on that filename; it's spyware from Gator.
Here's a thread with some info on getting rid of it:

Posted this and then saw what Angus said. I definitely need that eye surgery. I thought it was tricker_4010 -- never mind.

I had it, it is Gator Spyware, sends info on what sites you visit.
The site below, Lavaware has a freedown load that will sacn for and remove the various spyware crap, I've been using it for several months and its worked so far.

Ugh.... spyware. My friends in the computer support biz are making a killing fixing computers inflicted with spyware these days. Be very mindful of what you download & install -- a lot of "free" software comes with spyware... and a lot of that software is know to be buggy, causing errors on unsuspecting users' computers.

Get "Ad-Aware" by Lavasoft; it scans your computer for spyware and then terminates it. Great program. Free, too.
