1. Probably SpyWare.
You might wanna get some sort of detector(i.e. Search & Destroy).

4. Doesn't look good to me
eZula TopText is a browser plug-in for Internet Explorer. This means that the TopText software cuddles up in Internet Explorer's process; from the outside, no-one can tell if either native Internet Explorer code or TopText is communicating to the Internet.
After installation of Toptext, network traffic logs revealed that there was unusual HTTP traffic between Internet Explorer and a foreign server, each time the user navigated between URLs. The data transmitted is small and cryptic so we don't know if this is confidential information or not.

Common firewalls and even ZoneAlarm are not capable to block this kind of traffic, as both the port (80) as the application (Internet Explorer) are considered okay.
