I'm reading all new comments so don't hesitate to post a question about the file. If I don't have the answer perhaps another user can help you.
I have decided to remove all the files that are associated with web assistant, including this one. I believe they are malware. They were all installed at the same time that the incredibar toolbar was installed and there is no reason for them to remain on my computer. Everything I have read on other websites leads me to believe that they are invasive and harmful and eventually will slow your system down. Thank you for this wonderful website. I will be coming back from time to time to scan my pc, although I hope I do not experience this type of infection again.
