What Does it Do?
DownloadWare is scum of nearly every variety! It's adware, downloader, toolbar, search hijacker AND a trojan all rolled into one. This is installed using ActiveX by a number of questionable sites. It will download and install a number of various applications from its advertisers which will further mess up your system. There is truly no reason why you'll ever want to leave this trash on your system. Remove it NOW!
