48453 2002-05-12 06:11:00 This program and another similar to it( Download Receiver Executable )Have appeared on my system. Found them Through Zone alarm. I dont remember installing them. Anyone have any clues as to their function or purpose.
Dowloadware is in C:\Program Files\DownloadWare\DW.exe and Dowload reciever is in C:\Program Files\Common Files\eAcceleration\Download.exe
Thanks in advance

www.lavasoft.de

Go to the lavasoft site and download the the adware remover and run that, that should get rid of Downloadware and the other and maybe show up other items that have slipped in.
