Hi there,
It appears that whatever this is hitched a ride with the "EZ" youtube downloader plug-in I installed through Cnet (I thought they were better about screening that sort of thing?). I always make sure to uncheck everything during the install process, but didn't stop it this time. Also looks like it may be affiliated with a process called Spigot??? Very little useful information out there via normal Google searches. Just when I think I've got it beat, it will suddenly show up again!
Thanks.
