It uses ca.11MB of RAM. Very complicated uninstall process (uninstall in two steps, the program installs itself as two different programs), to uninstall required connection to Internet and downloading two times additional uninstall programs! It is possible two uninstall it from the control panel, add/remove programs: you have to uninstall two separate programs: 1."Interstitial Ad Delivery by n-Case" and 2."... PAD ... by n-Case".

Horrible--does not allow me to start ANY programs--gives error message: __________.exe generated errors and must be closed by Windows. ---Because of this, nothing works! Trying to find a way to remove it, Norton Anti-virus DOES NOT do it!

I dont know anything about this o_0 Other than it may be screwing me up the ass. My fully updated Norton Antivirus cant delete or quarantine this file, and i think it may be using my Bit Tornado to let others connect to me. My CPU goes to 100% whenever i use BT for like 10 minutes or something o_0 And wont go down unless i close the program.

***** EASY FIX: Look, if you guys really don't like it that much, go to www.google.com.au and search for spybot. Download version 1.4. Once you've done this, go to www.download.com or www.freedownloads.be and download HijackThis. HijackThis kills startup entries that other programs can't even see (be careful though). Don't bother with Adwaware or any other program, these two will fix pretty much everything.

This annoying file has been giving me a headache for quite a long time and I've given it too much time and many tries.Everytime I delete it, it comes back, though I have a firewall!How? SPYBOT search & destroy, ADware SE, and SPYWARE doctor were all useless, it comes back again. Use "highjack this" to kill the proccess, it works, but comes back on restart.The freak who made this program knew exactly what he was doing.Check the link for useful downloads
