As soon as an update is made available, AceGain manages the alert, download and installation as well as version control and user network preferences."
• "Bouncer RunStartup" definitely not required. VIrtualBouncer malware from Spyware Labs. It is distributed by the same bundling and drive-by download techniques as the parasites it claims to remove, so definitely qualifies as unsolicited commercial software in itself.
