I just spent 5 hours trying to remove this from a clients pc.
What a nasty bit of software.
The client tried to remove it first, and stuffed it further.
dont bother trying to give me solutions ive tried most things on the net, and a lot fo them failed.

beware!!!!, we eventually had to reformat.

i found a way to destroy it indi, cause I got it. Issue is IE though. I have set it to offline, and only use firefox. That way no visuses or spyware get in.

If you want to know how to get it off a system, just ask.

yeah the client had already tried to remove it, unfortnuately removed to many windows components for anything rational like the task bar or right mouse clicks to appear at startup when i entered the office. luckily I slaved it and backed up but i tried to revive a slain dragon.

What makes Firefox so impervious to spyware and viruses? Everyone keeps saying this but I don't really understand... it accesses the internet and eventually someone will break it, if someone already hasn't.

because ie can auto download files including exe`s and execute them, making it very stupid aswell as wmp can download codecs automatically which can also screw up your pc, ive noticed recently however that some popups get through ff such as when you click on a link then that popup gets through which is rather annoying, and ff doesnt have any native features to block ads.

Hallowed are the ori.
