If you have any version of GhostSurf installed it is definitely part of GhostSurf. However, it is buggy, many users have complained that it turns into a CPU hog, rendering the computer nearly unusable (and if you kill the task, your browser will not connect until you reset it to connect directly). Fixing this problem requires a reboot, after which it behaves normally.
