Actually, I'm pretty sure Common Name is adware. It might also be a virus but I'm not sure. It creeps into your computer and is probably located in C:/Program Files/Common Name. Just delete the folder and purge and it should be fine. Please note that it has a possibility of creeping back in so get a firewall or something.
