Spyware Information: AdLogix
This is a Browser Helper Object (BHO). BHO's connect to Internet Explorer while it's running, and share information. BHO's were originally designed to allow Internet Explorer to handle new types of data and to offer new features not originally designed into the product (like search toolbars, for example). But because BHO's have access to all the information about the web sites that you visit (and because BHO's run on your computer and could potentially do anything they want), they have been used by advertising companies and others to track you online.
