Well, actually, its malware. VX2 may cause browser instability

It is spread by a bundled install that is undisclosed, or stealth install

It usually auto-updates without user permission and/or knowledge, opens unsolicited websites/pop up windows, and may install other 3rd party software

It also tracks the user's surfing habits, connects to a remote system with or without the user's awareness to transmit usage statistics and/or personally identifiable information, and connects to a remote system without the user's awareness to transmit/receive information.

o.0 well that sounds dodgy.  Just make sure if you take it off that way that is does not hurt your computer.
