And it's loaded with every reboot, and I can't uninstall it because it tells me I have to close the program to uninstall it, but it's not running anywhere including the task manager... And it's not in the start menu. Any help? It's installed itself on two computers so far, and is likely giving someone access to my PCs. What port does it use so I can try closing it?
