I found this while searching for "Internet Saving Optimizer":

"Internet Saving Optimizer: The application optimizes the benefits of the users by providing relevant offers joined in the network. It will be automatically installed together with Desktop Smiley Toolbar and runs independently. User can remove the application in Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs."

Looks like NPIEAddOn.dll is an adware component.

NP helper is part of the "icanseek" adware/virus. Virtually undetectable by any program I have used thus far, and not fixable by those who could find it. Finally while doing a firefox add-on update, I saw "NP HELPER" and disabled it because I didnt know what it was and didnt remember installing it. Ever since, I have been pop-up free :)

Thank you for this - I truley appreciate it :)

I had restarted my computer and on FireFox and it told me I had 3 new add ons which I didn't remember installing and upon searching them they turned out to malicious software. I was having trouble finding the NP Helper Class 'til I found this - so thank you again :)

I hope to be pop-up free now!

It's a funny thing I should run into an article like this while searching to improve my IE8's performance. I was haveing dozens of opening web pages, and decided to try a different removal tool. Wound up downloading MS Live One Care trial offer. It found this dll helper when my other anti-virus,malware tool failed to. Still have somethings to work out yet but I'm no PRO. I just know it runs better withoout the helper. Good Luck.
