    I had a spyware warning come up while launching the pokerstars software on my computer. the program stub.exe was trying to access the internet. my pokerstars software was updating and this popped up while it was updating. I blocked it and everything was updated fine.
    i scaned my computer and found the stub.exe in my pokerstars software.
    i researched stub.exe and i got hits for highly suspicious spyware.

    i have not emailed stars yet but i was wondering if anyone else who knows about software or computers is aware of this program.

    I could be totally wrong on this, but I assume this is the program that makes sure you aren't using any websites or poker tools that are banned under the pokerstars T&C while you are playing.

    According to the technical folk here at PS:

    "Stub.exe is a piece of software that gets used only when there is a need to update updater.exe - a front-end that's responsible for PS client update."
