What is LavasoftTcpService.exe?

[Mr Burns]

So I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate.

I have a bandwidth monitor running on my computer as I have a 10GB broadband allowance. I've just received last month's usage statements and The LavasoftTcpService has used over 4GB of data. However, if I check previous statements the Service is nowhere to be found.

I certainly don't remember downloading anything called Lavasoft....

So I'm wondering, what is this service, what does if do, why is it using so much bandwidth, and, how do I remove it? Thanks.


BTW, I've just checked the task manager and the process is not there...

did you install Ad-Aware?

did you install Ad-Aware?

Or installed it by accident, bundled with something else...

 

[Mr Burns]

did you install Ad-Aware?

I've done a search of my computer and it came up with "Ad Aware Web Companion". Clicked it but it did nothing. Don't remember installing it. Checked my browser addons and it's not listed there.

But why would the application use 4GB bandwidth in a month?!
