The advertising\par allows them to give their software away to consumers for\par free, but still generate revenue. Our advertising technology is used by\par programs like Go!Zilla, CuteFTP, GetRight, Buddyphone, and\par over 300 others. Your machine connects to our servers to update the ad data\par that is displayed when you are not connected to the\par Internet. Please be aware that we do NOT send personally identifiable data\par unless knowingly and willingly volunteered to us by you.\par To continue to use the program, this needs to take place. However, if you\par are no longer using the software, you can delete\par "amcis.dll" and "advert.dll" and the connections should stop.\par \par Also, you can delete the following registry keys:\par HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\Software\\Aureate\\*\par \par Please keep in mind that if you have other programs on your machine that use\par our technology, they may cease to function without\par these files and registry keys. I hope this helps.\par \par Thanks,\par Jeremy\par \par ----\par Jeremy J.
