I did a scan and it came up with Gator, this is a bad spyware program, but this folder was not spyware, it was a sound folder for a game called, Gunman. I had Ad-aware put this in the ignore list, I also have a .s3d Registry entry, not sure what this belongs to, so I'm leaving it alone. If you question something, have Ad-aware back it up, before you Remove it, then, if it was needed by a program, you can Restore it later. If it is a Cookie, Delete it, if it is a folder or Registry Entry, find out what they belong to before you remove them. What is Spyware ? it is a way for Companys like Double Click and Gator, to track where you go on the Internet, what Web Sites you visit, they say, it's put in a general database, so they can determine what is clicked on, like Ads, etc. But who really knows, they will not show anyone what they are doing with our Information and they are doing this, without our permission. So Lavasoft came up with Ad-aware, to get it off your Computer, Thank You Lavasoft ! |
