How do you know that you're just a volunteer.

No.

"Adwares are the programs which delivers ads to your computer (generally in POP-UP's form). They consume your network."

Whereas:

"Malware is a very general word for software that deliberately harms, restricts, alters, or stops your computer from working properly where the true purpose of the download or installation is hidden or difficult to find and not clearly explained to the user."

That fits Linkury better. If Linkury was attacking my network I'd be in much bigger trouble right now.

All I (or anyone else) can suggest to disable/uninstall the sponsor stuff is what has already been said before in this thread (and in other similar threads).

If you are able to upload that offending setup file somewhere (eg: here) I can take a look at it, but other than that I'm afraid there is nothing else to say about it.

Because I'm going to risk keeping that thing on my computer?

I feel there's been no resolution to this, so out of my respect this topic should be locked and preserved for others who seek answers to this issue just to see the kind of help they will receive for it. I can only hope signing up on this forum and go out my way to figure this out will not have my email spammed. Good day.
