altnet program that kazaa installs it can be used to track browsing habits and then select ads based on that to display. It also could be exploited, will cause a lot of popups etc, and is overall a pest. If you want kazaa - you live with it. I delete it.

Run a search for that file name if you have XP but it might not show up for the first search, it didn't for me. Then I ran another search using search in "hidden" files and it showed up. I think I successfully deleted it. I hope this helps if you have XP

this file is an adware gator file

I typed "asmfiles.cab" in my search, and came up with a zip named "asmfiles". When I clicked on "open containing folder", I found an execution file named "asm.exe. I am not a whiz at computers, so I don't know whether to delete this exe file, or not. Also, right beside the asm.exe, there is the zip again that says "asmfiles." Does anybody know what I should do?
