    Hello Helia,

    "is this all I need to know or is there more to it? "

    It would be a good idea to know what it is.

    Did AAW tell you what it is? What category was it? meaning registry item, file, ....

    Its in the quarantine items now. Right clicking brings up a menu, one of which is "info on item ".

    You can try googleing on it to see what comes up.

    Regards - Charles

    CAUSE
    This behavior can occur if you have installed either a Roger Wilco or a Trickler (Fsg.exe) program on your computer.

    Typically, the Trickler program is installed automatically by the Gator OfferCompanion program; or, the Trickler program may be installed by Roger Wilco (voice-to-game integration software). The purpose of Trickler is to gather information about the Web sites that you visit. Trickler provides aggregate statistics to third-party vendors about users, traffic patterns, and related Web site information.

    Trickler is also called Fsg-ag.exe (which is installed with AudioGalaxy) or other names that contain "fsg" or "trickler ".

    Adaware has probably taken care of this but the manual unistall do's are included in link. It certainly couldn't hurt to double check your registry and look for [and delete as instructed] the additional file mentioned.

    =========
    Sahagent.exe is "shop at home" is also considered spyware baggage and yes you were correct in the assumption that this came along with your install of imesh. Ad-aware /spybot should also have taken care of this.

    Double check and see if you have an entry in your controlpanel/add/remove software icon list for uninstalling Shop At Home Something or other.
