this appeared on my computer yesterday eve,,while on the web looking for ferry sailing times.
yahoo say the site is bad but give on further info.
but that it is not Microsoft bug, but a spywere and mailwere.
the question is
is this a genuine program that i started by mistake and if so how do i switch it off??
or is it something nasty??
use kaspersky antivirus and spy bot.
these do not recognise it and i cant delete it tried add/remove not on list
now but keeps poping up and asking for a registration code to delete things its found,
also tried revo in (hunter mode)and that cant find it

am i in trouble ?????
thanks in advance

    Yes it is a nasty malware/spyware program and superantispyware should remove that specific one.
