Iambig brother installed on my computer

I had download asquared software and it detected Iambigbrother software hidden in my fonts. I know for a fact no one in my family would install this, and it probably happend when I was downloading updates and other software... I just wonder is this a tool a hijacker would use to break into my computer, I can't think of any reason why someone would want to spy on me. I don't do anything illegal or anything like that. I don't visit porno sites and don't download anything other than what I have for computer security... The only reason I can think of for that being installed on my computer is for someone to try to break into my personal info.

 

Spyware yes. See this thread.

 

Could Hewlett Packard be behind this, after I quaranteed the software my Hp support doesn't work. What would you suggest?

 

I don't know what you all might think but I just deleted the HP support center, since it connects to the web(and I can't access help unless I connect to the web) and left my windows help and support which I can access without connecting to the web. I am really tired of messing with this. I tried to download an update for Wild tangent and antivir caught a virus on it , so i stopped the download... The HP support center kept coming up with all this funky stuff saying it couldn't connect , and I hadn't been able to fix it. I thought if I needed online support from them I'd just go directly to their website.Was uninstalling HP support unwise?

 

If it comes back to bite me fine....but I doubt very seriously if you will ever miss the HP support you removed and if it's similar to the Dell support stuff I have removed from all of our workstations I know you'll never miss it.

If by chance I am wrong....I'll be here to assist what ever it takes....along with the other fine folks that frequent Wilders or my name ain't Blackspear

 

LOL@ Bubba.
Removing HP Help and Support properly should cause no problems. Yes, it does phone home. Some say on a regular basis and without being asked to do so.
Wild Tangent is of questionable "parentage" as well. All though I do know many who have it.

 

I have the windows help and support on my computer and HP was just a headache.. I started getting IHIDEAD and other stuff unbeknownest to me. I figure if I need help just to go online to the HP site, I couldn't connect to HP support center unless I was online... I might have this bite me. But it is curious that it wouln't work after I had Iambigbrother uninstalled and taken off my computer , I could be wrong though.
