You got
Spyware_AD-ware.
You could remove FTAPP through Add/Remove Programs.
Download
and install the SpyBot Search_&_Destroy tool to delete any
Spyware/AD-ware/hijacker found. Read about this type of junk at Spyware_etc. These programs come hidden
in "free" software and can corrupt or slow down your system. Or can be installed
by some hijack web sites that hijack your browser settings. After installing SpyBot,
use the ONLINE feature to update the software and its reference lists,
then run a scan and delete any checked items found. Leave the un-checked
items alone for now. Advanced users can do additional cookie, history list and
Registry deleting with SpyBot later by using the un-checked
items.
Another good easy to use, but
not updated recently, Spyware/Ad-ware remover is AdAware_Lavasoft.nu. It has a separate program that must
be installed to check for and download update files.
Additional information on Spyware
and Browser Hijack removal tools, prevention tools, links and forums can be found
at SpywareInfo.
Here you can get help identifying new hijackers, related programs and current news.
