Not on the list?

We're adding to this database on a regular basis, with our emphasis being on programs that pose a threat in terms of resources, system stability, privacy, or security. If you'd like to contribute to this list with a program that isn't yet recognized, post a message in the "Viruses, Spyware, Adware" section of our forums. Please include the following information:

• The program file name (e.g., progname.exe).
• What the program does. Does it come with a particular application or piece of hardware?
• Is it a safe program, or is it some type of spyware?
• Can the program can be stopped--is it really needed? What functions may not work if it is stopped?
• How should the program be stopped or removed? Does it have an Add/Remove Programs entry, should you use MSConfig, or is some other procedure required?
• Links to information about the program on the Internet.
• A link to your test results.
