Default Comet Cursor...

It's invaded my computer. I was surfing some trek sites out of boredom a few weeks ago when i caught comet cursor in the middle of an install. I managed to stop it but suddenly just a few minutes ago I get "Your version of comet cursor is out of date. Click here to update." I know it didn't come from the page I was viewing because it was my personal homepage I have on my hard drive. I tried cexx.org but I couldn't locate anything to do with comet cursor. Anyone have any ideas?

Nevermind...turns out that a nifty little trick in comet cursor that it installs itself even if you cancel it. I HATE comet cursor...it falls into all those annoying cutisy things that people love to have until they get tired of them, break the computer trying to get rid of them, and then call me to fix it :|

Uninstalling isn't a problem, but it gets annoying after the hundredth time...

I wish there was a way to block it permanently.

Ad Aware, it found things on my hard drive I didn't even know where there, including a few comet cursor files.
