I see you are running
Poker Stars.
Poker Stars has a history of distributing spyware in their products. However, security experts still question this program as good or bad. I recommend to remove it to prevent spyware, but it is up to you to decide if you want to keep it.
If you would like to uninstall it, do so as follows:
Press
Start, and navigate to the
Control Panel. When in the control panel enter
Add or Remove programs. Search for and locate
PokerStars, and either click
Change/Remove or Remove.*******************************
