rate0 Ad-Aware SE personal got rid of it but i now get an error message about it being gone every friggin time i boot up   Shaz
rate5 This little bugger is part of a Time-sync application, but also pumps unwanted ADs on your system. Lavasoft Ad-aware gets rid of this wanker for good.  
rate5 This.. "GAIN" thingy.. what ever you like to call it, slows down your internet connection when running mutiple programs, Nortan Anti-Virus doesn't detect it, and either does Ad-aware. So my advice is to delete it from your start menu then go to My computer, Local disk, documents and settings, All users, start menu, programs, startup.. and you should find it hiding in there, so delete it if you can. I dont know if I got rid of it, but I havn't seen any sign of it since I removed it .   Rina
