What Is "popuper.exe"?

"popuper.exe" has been running in my processes. Is this spyware and/or triggering the ongoing pop-ups I receive while on IExplorer.

Thanks.

Heard its a backdoor trojan, not positive though. Search and install these two free utilites: Spybot: Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware (its on download.com). Also keep your antivirus up to date and have all these programs run at startup (once).

Best thing to do would be to install & update the apps mentoned by the previous member, then boot your PC into Safe Mode. Run your Spyware removal utilities and AV in safe mode for maximus effectiveness.
