I just Googled around. It sounds a bit controversial -- some reviews
here, a few of them glowing, several more complaining that the buyers don't want it, are having trouble uninstalling it, and/or haven't been able to get their money back. The "average" customer rating from 20 votes seems to be 2 stars out of 5
Here's a detailed discussion at Tech Support Guy Forums on locating and removing it:
Driver Cure Problem? (thread started last March, now marked "Solved".)
The scanning tool called
Hijack This, which the people at TechGuy seem to depend on constantly for identifying malware problems, is available
here. I have it; it seems to be well-behaved and only runs when invited to.
