My wife uses that as well. If you've run Adaware and deleted the dssagent
executable you should be fine. FTM keeps rebuilding the registry entry
everytime it's run but not the executable. It's an irritant but it can't do
anything without the EXE.
If you're seeing phone home activity then you've not nuked the executable. If
the executable is being recreated then that's new!
