Discovered this one on my own computer by accident.

Not being a person to LIKE having info of any sort randomly shot out of my
own machine without me knowing about it, I must admit to some consternation
when I found a lot of "AdController" stuff on my machine. I went Googling
and it seemed like your average
non-nasty Ad stuff of the sort that you would expect to be removed by Spybot
and Adaware.

So, as I run those two progs regularly, I checked for updates, ran them both
and this AdController wasn't picked up. Not being sure what that meant
exactly, I decided to check out Spybot and Lavasoft web sites for info.
None. I left them emails asking why their progs didn't pick it up, of
course, hoping for an answer and admittedly that was only sent within the
last 24 hours so I don't expect an answer yet. However, still curious. So
does anyone know what AdController does, under what circumstances it runs
etc? Seems to have been around a while.....

Greg.
