My PC's been infected with the #@$#@$@ Ultimate Cleaner virus thing. Every 5 minutes or so, warning pop-ups say my computer's been infected and I MUST install this Cleaner app. Even if I shut all that down, it pops-up again later.
The thing has disabled Norton (can't run a scan). Adaware finds the spyware, says it's been removed, but the pop-ups keep coming.
I could probably hack my way through the registry, but it'll take hours. I hate this stuff! I'm usually pretty careful about it, but this @#$% somehow sneaked it's way in.
So the PC is closed until I can dedicate some time to fix it and I'm logging in via the laptop.
Leave Osama alone... crack down on these computer terrorists with their spyware and viruses. I swear, if I ever find one of them, I'm buying one of those electro-magnets you put on a flatbed and pinning every one of their hardrives to the wall for a few minutes.
