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.
