Hey, yes that is really annoying. I don't know why the authorities can't find these idiots and shut them down.

Anyway, you've gotta run an anti-spyware program. It's REALLY easy.

Try XoftSpySE...it found a trojan spyware thing on my computer that my Symantic AntiVirus Corporate Edition didn't find.

You can download it and run a scan for free from http://www.thewisesurfer.com/paretologic-xoftspyse-review.html

hope this helps, dude!

This is a must website to view before purchasing any anti-spyware software ! Note that there are legal liabilities for professionals in reporting bad software and this is a compliant website and very known at forums and groups:

Category

Rogue Security Software: Security software that uses deceptive means for installation and purpose. Once installed, the rogue software usually uses scare tactics to inform the user that spyware or malware is installed on their system. The rogue security software then claims to offer remediation in exchange of payment. These applications can come bundled with other malware that serve other purposes. This software usually comes in the form of Anti-spyware, or Anti-virus applications.

Reasons For Retention

During testing, Ultimate Defender reported the presence of a Trojan name Win32.Beovens.C on a clean system. None of the major commercial antivirus or antispyware products detected the presence of malware. Ultimate Defender (purposely) did not disclose the location of the Win32.Beovens.C object, making it impossible to verify its claim. However, Ultimate Defend

er will try to get the user to buy the full product to remove the threat (that is non existent) Currently Ultimate Defender is reporting a McAfee file (mcinfo.exe) as being infected by Win32.BotNet.94C4D. Scanning done by major AV and AS vendors report nothing wrong with this file (full scans are clean). Plus continual hounding to register/purchase Ultimate Defender to clean this "critical" infection.
