Hi! Smile What is: "ginst_001_1234_4201.exe"?
My firewall asks me if I want to let "ginst" access the internet every time I turn the computer on. I always say "no".
I did find it in: C:Windows/TEMP I have no idea what it is.

I believe that is a spyware application (program file) from Gator. I suggest you remove it.

You can read more about this By clicking here.

And learn about spyware in general By clicking here.

You can download a spyware removal tool (Lavasoft's Ad-Aware) By clicking here.

I hope this helps!
