Default adware??

Yesterday I was running Shareaza and got a pop up message about an upgrade available. I DL'd and installed it, and it was all easy and automatic.

However this AM when I ran ad-aware it found 2 files!!

I didnt write down the names, and wish I had.

Could they have come from Shareaza?

I run ad-aware every couple of days, so I dont think it came from some other program I DL'd. But I cant be 100% sure of that.

Not sure where I got it, but I sure hope it wasnt from the upgrade!

Thanks for any help. I've only been using Shareaza for 2 days, so as green as they come! <g>

Maybe these two files were cookies?
