Risk:
Description:	NetSonic is adware, that is, it displays ads. In addition, users of Web3000 Inc's Internet Accelerator program NetSonic should be aware that NetSonic is known to conflict with a number Windows programs including ChatCheck. NetSonic works by replacing standard browser caches with a customised version of its own and upon installation supplants your Winsock with a NetSonic Winsock. This means if you upgrade Windows there will be problems with Winsock which is fundamental to internet communications.
