I was just infected by this malware. I "uninstalled" it then ran a malware scan. Lo and behold, it was still on my system. Along with a few others I suspect it invited in. If you get infected by this malware, use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to get rid of it.

Tried to install a freeware audio program, "MP3 My MP3", and this program was bundled with it on the install. The installation fully disclosed that the software was free because it installed this spyware on your system. I immediately exited the installer and did not continue. My experience with RelevantKnowledge is that they were honest to both disclose and prompt for my consent to spy on my computer. Of course, the answer is "no". Here's the text they provided explaining their software -- pretty invasive stuff. "In order to provide this free download, RelevantKnowledge software, provided by TMRG, Inc., a comScore, Inc. company, is included in this download. This software allows millions of participants in an online market research community to voice their opinions by allowing their online browsing and purchasing behavior to be monitored, collected, aggregated, and once anonymized, used to generate market reports which our clients use to understand Internet trends and patterns and other market research purposes. The information which is monitored and collected includes internet usage information, basic demographic information, certain hardware, software, computer configuration and application usage information about the computer on which you install RelevantKnowledge. We may use the information that we monitor, such as name and address, to better understand your household demographics; for example, we may combine the information that you provide us with additional information from consumer data brokers and other data sources in accordance with our privacy policy. We make commercially viable efforts to automatically filter confidential personally identifiable information and to purge our databases of such information about our panelists when inadvertently collected. By clicking Accept you acknowledge that you are 18 years of age or older, an authorized user of the computer on which you are installing this application, and that you have read, agreed to, and have obtained the consent of all computer and TV users to the terms and conditions of the Privacy Statement and User License Agreement." Basically, they want to be able record and monitor, present and future, all your online shopping and browsing habits, all the knowledge they can collect about your computer, including the programs you run, and use your name and address to find out as much as they can about your family for marketing purposes. AT LEAST THEY ARE HONEST.
