It is a spyware component that you don't want. Would
advise you get Ad-aware and then run your system through a thorough spyware
scan. You'll be prompted to remove the spyware that is on your computer.

This file - msvc32i.exe - appears to be a part of ClientMan and has been
pegged as spyware.

winnet.exe is the executable for "CommonName Sidebar" from
www.commonname.com. Also considered to be spyware and uninstall is not
straightforward. Should find directions for removal at their website.

Should also use AdAware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com) on the system after
you've uninstalled what you can of these items.
