Can be harmlessly blocked by renaming the .exe portion to .exx. This works for all .exe files I have had to remove.

It tells you it's installing when you install their games, it helps make other games to work on systems like yours, it send system info to do this. I've had it on different computer for years with no problems. NOT DANGEROUS.

Seems to invite more spyware and trojans to my computer. Difficult to completely get rid of it.
