Spyware.

It's the "I don't think" stuff that worries me, lol

Well, if it hurts your PC, feel free to come here and spank me...

Serouisly, I doubt it would hurt... Think of it like this: Would Norton's anti-virus delete or leave a virus on your PC.

It gives you the option to back up your file just in case.

Yeah it does... So if ya' PC cracks a fat and spits the dummy, then your files are backed up.

That file's popped up on a few systems I've run AdAware on & it's never hurt anything (that I can see) when I've deleted it

ad aware seems to work just fine for me, and it DEFINATELY works.

I was getting the pop up ads, thinking it was Lit trying to pay for the bandwidth and servers... turns out it wasn;t.

you should have seen the amount of files i got rid of.

hmmm is it just me or does it sound like i should now offer you a free set of steak knives if you call now?

Leave it there. Deleting things in your registry is something for pros or if you really know what you are deleting. I'm a pro and i very rarely delete things in my registry. I have repaired too much pc's of friends who did such things.

try using a program called BHOcop, it will allow you to get rid of that stuff safely, if for some reason IE crashes, you can always run BHOCop again and restore it to the way it was.
