It is starting and working without my permission and my aknowledgement and occupy a lot of my computer power. Very anoing - It's your computer spy.

If this longstanding BHO (Browser Helper Object) was causing any major issues in view of its wide use, I'm sure we would know about by now. What's possible and what's likely, that is the question.

IT is used when you download A/V files from the internet.

It's a BHO (Browser Helper Object) that becmes part of IE. It's a badly locked door. Make sure you have some security before you start using this because IE is bad enough, but this will piggy-back on IE and bypass your firewall.
John Vreeland

It does randomly check the internet for who knows what ? I have my fire wall blocking that query.The program still runs fine I beleave the query is to update the annoying music news pop up.

This plug-in from real player for the browser, it can be used to download videos from any resource.

It's making my system run very slow. I am removing the whole program. Check out the smaller, called Quicktimealternative

It depends on the quality of the Experience You Wish while on the Internet, such as without this plugin you cannot view videos from web pages without downloading - this is a huge inconvience. NO real exposure to risk but may slow system somewhat -no big deal!
