This download said that it has found porn on my computer (which i never visit any such sights) and can erase all these things from my computer. I am afraid of it damageing my computer. Does anyone know about this or has any one ever used it before.

It's a scam.
Why did you download it at all if you knew it's original message was rubbish?
But anyway I have nice bridge to sell. I'm only asking $1,000 in used notes. Interested?

Everyone is right. It's spyware and it's a bad one! Get rid of it as soon as you can. To get rid of it, and many others, you can run this free all inclusive scan: http://www.fixieonline.com/freescan.html After scaning, when you go to fix the errors, be sure to activate the spyware blocking part of the program.

It is one hell of a fraudulent offer. It is also called a Trojan horse virus. It may already be hiding in the system somewhere. Use your virus scan to see if it can find it. If it does, DESTROY THAT INTRUDER!

Don't use it!!
Get Ad-Aware or Spybot and update them and scan your computer. Both are free on www.download.com
Uninstall that program ASAP!

spyware and a virus probably. install ad-aware (google it) and do a scan with that also consider replacing your antivirus software with www.avast.com (Avast antivirus). Then install firefox 2.0 and you will not have this problem again.
Good Luck
