Spyware Information: AFX Tunneld
This application is a downloader. Downloaders get other programs from the Internet and install them on your computer. Although there are legitimate uses for downloaders, those that persist on your computer after an installation is finished (or those that you don't recognize) could be used to install spyware, viruses, or other malicious software.
Downloaders have the advantage (for a malicious software writer) that they are not viruses themselves, so they may not be recognized by anti-virus software. This gives the virus a peephole into the computer through which it can travel once the downloader is in place.
