Alset help express

[F525]

This evening, while my son was surfing, somehow, some software called "Alset help express" was installed on my machine without his knowledge.

I discovered it later this evening, when I clicked on my icon to connect (dialup) and another message came up to "Check for high speed available" and "Tell me more".

I canceled and tried again, and also tried another ISP dialup. It always came up with that message. I then found that some software had been installed in C:\Program Files\Alset .

MSCONFIG also showed that it had installed itself into my startup.

Does anyone know what it is or if this is a virus?

In the above mentioned folder is a file called "UninstHX.bat" . Is it Ok to run that?

TIA

Dwight
