    for those that dont know, its a form of spyware that hijacks your browser and trys to get you to buy antivirus software. its a commonly known spyware, can someone please tell me how to get rid of this.

    When i have time, i'm gona find the guy who made this spyware and kick him in the face. If your reading this, be a man and confront me.

    And i know the chances of him reading this are very small, and the chances he's gona say it was him are even smaller but still theres still that chance.

    Set your computer settings back to the way they were before it got on your computer. I forget how to do it, but it's worked for me with similar malware.

    I used CWShredder when my IE was hacked. It was a couple of years though. May be you can find it by searching google.

    Do check the control panel to see if its listed there. Also clear browser history and cache.

    Kindly post a hijackthis! log in this thread. HijackThis! can be downloaded from http://www.merijn.org/.
