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????

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.
