I've never heard of that program, I would suggest uninstalling it ASAP and using something such as AVG

Start your computer in safe mode. This should only load the most basic of windows functionality. You probably wont even have networking. This is a good thing. Uninstall the program then, and (if you've downloaded the installer) install some form of AV in safe mode and schedule a full scan on next boot. A lot of AV software lets you scan before windows fully boots, allowing it to find sneaky programs. Yeah, you won't be able to use your computer, but it's the price you pay :)

I have had a look at this application.
Turns out that there are numerous faults with it that tends to cause it to hang up, eat more memory than it needs, not do it's job properly, alter certain settings in Windows that it then locks to those settings. The uninstaller itself is also faulty as it has a tendency to not remove everything it should and/or reset the things it took over, such as firewall settings, etc.

So yes. Safe Mode is the way to go.

Should things still not be quite back to normal when you have uninstalled it, I would suggest TuneUp Utilities as the next step.
