I have just had an experience with the most EVIL spyware program ever. Not only does this new program hijack your browser and switch your homepage, it causes your CD-ROM doors to open and close, and opens a document of theirs in your notepad! Just what is it that these incredibly invasive spies want you to do?! They want you to download their spyware removal program!!! Do these idiots think that I was born yesterday? No way would I be stupid enought to download a spyware removal program from the spies themselves. I imagine that they would nicely omit all of their own prorams from the list of things to be removed, and heaven only knows what added extras come with it!
If you happen to pick up this nasty program, immediately disconnect and run Spybot Search and Destroy. You must have the latest version installed for it to be removed. If you don't have it, there is a link on my sidebar to the download site. If you do, be sure that you have installed all of the updates. You need the latest updates for this evil program to be removed. As is par for the course, you will have to reset your homepage even after the program is removed.
I know that some American companies are a bit ticked off because a guy from Germany is distributing a fully functional spyware removal progam for free, but this is ridiculous. Don't give these jerks the satisfaction of downloading their stripped down program. So far as I am concerned, Patrick Kolla (Creator of Spybot S & D) is God! His progam has saved my computer from more nasty spyware programs than I can count, while other free programs just passed them over. You need their paid versions to remove all of the REALLY evil stuff. No, I have NOT been paid to say this. These are my own personal feelings. American capitalists be damned! Download and use this guy's program.
