This program is ADWARE / SPYWARE.

This program installs as "Bonus Software" along with...

"Smiley Central™, Cursor Mania™, Popular Screensavers™, the MyWebSearch® search box and Search Assistant."

You may have been infected if you visited or downloaded from IWON, Vimeo, Life123 , Girlsense, Kazulah, Excite, Vicinio, Zwinky

Tracks you text input online and sends back to a server, this is the spyware part.

They spy to provide ads targeted based on your search patterns, etc.

When the bonus software is installed, new BHOs and autorun entries may be created.

Warning: This program can be installed without permission if your computers security settings are not configured properly. Make sure that your computer is up-to-date and has a good anti-malware scanner like MalwareBytes.

If you are infected, please post to the Computer Viruses part of WikiAnswers and someone would be more than happy to help you.
