My anti-spyware program has identified adware in your software!

A toolbar named 2020Search creates a file with the same name as one of the setup files in our suite.

We use software called Setup Factory by a company named Indigo Rose for setting up typeSmart.
Setup Factory creates files named

  • irsetup.exe
  • irsetup.dat
  • irsetup.ini
  • irsetup.exe-0095C798.pf (the numbers may vary)

The .pf file is placed in Windows/Prefetch. (pf stands for 'prefetch')
These files are placed in your Local Settings/Temp folder then deleted on reboot.
They exist only for the purpose of installing typeSmart on your machine.

Since the 2020Search toolbar is regarded as adware, irsetup.exe turns up on anti-spyware programs as adware.

This may explain why your system objects in some way.
