I vaguely remember it being downloaded with other software even though I didn't want it. I can't remember which app it came with, but I figured I would just go delete it later...I forgot. Thank you all who put this program together.

I downloaded this stupid program and tried it once. Deleted it. And it keeps coming back. Over and over again it loads itself BACK onto my system. I'm hoping that Freefixer is finally going to get rid of it for good. I'm hoping . . .
