Sounds like it's spyware though, since you're getting pop-ups while whoring on HAN.
I actually heard about that from my classmate. I just installed it and it's running now. How do I differentiate good from bad?

Well I was told that could also be bad for you, since my search came up with Registry Keys and stuff. Do I really wanna delete those?

I'm not gonna tell you yes or no...I'm just gonna say that I always do. They could be registry keys installed by spyware.
