    # 25 Rik says : - This one fascinates me ~ Whats that all about? Its legit ~ but id definitely questioning if its any good? And what exactly does it do?

    It's Net Nanny, owned by ContentWatch, but it's not showing in any of the O/P's logs M8 so it may be a corrupted uninstall or whatever.

    The Process is packed and/or encrypted using a software packing process
    Executes a Process
    Can communicate with other computer systems using HTTP protocols

    You should use hijack to remove that item then

    then give it a spring clean

    Download CCLEANER
    http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/slim
    Run the CLEANER scan (UNTICK 'cookies')
    Then run the REGISTRY scan (Backup the registry when it asks)
