Dataminers are cookies that collect and send to a third party information about you and your computer. By themselves, they are relatively inoffensive, but as they aggregate on your system, you will increase the risk of opening yourself up to some serious threats.
It is URGENT that you take restorative action against these programs. There are any number of freeware and payware applications that will handle this sort of threat. I use both SpyBot and AdAware SE Personal, as well as AVG Antivirus.
Look for FREEWARE versions of these products at:
