I sent in a request to some of my geeks.

They have heard of it, but aren't sure of the fix without downloading something to clean it.

What version of Avast, Adware (is that NoAdware) and Spybot do you have? Also do you get updates to those programs..........

We will see if we can help.
We meaning I ask, they provide info, I relay....... ;D

Barry, one of our geeks says Spybot should take it out.
He recommends downloading a new version before you delete anything.

Here is the link he sent me.
He also asked if you have Norton or McAfee?

Avast is 4.7

AdAware is the latest & greatest

Spybot is 1.4 I believe

I updated them all before running them

Are these trusted programs? I use Mcafee and it never fails me.

I take that back. I dumped McAfee. It failed me. I now have Ad-Aware, Spybot, Avast!, and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. I also use a very good tool for my browser called WOT. I would suggest getting it. Blocks all bad sites. Get it free at mywot.com

go to malewarebytes.org and download their program, it is free
run it and you should be go to go stay away from avast. it used to be a great program but has slacked as of late. also download either avg free and do a online panda scan.
