NowBox Description:

NowBox is a system tray task that runs constantly with Windows. It downloads advertising to be shown if you click on its icon. The software polls the servers at vflash.com every minute when an internet connection is present. When there is new advertising to be shown it downloads it and causes the icon to flash (under Windows XP this may be hidden).
