Just wondering if you have already been there.
I've seen this and got a pretty good idea how it gets onto users systems. It comes with some freebie s/w or demo and not paying attention can get on-board w/o the user knowing on slips unnoticed. The plain fact, its malware and while its a known problem it can become pest or annoyance.
I've tried repeatedly to remove it and in some cases been successful. Others not so, it just comes back. I'm sure its part of an installed pgm. but when you have pgms. that users want, its hard to reduce the problem. More to the point, it just hides itself. All links to remove do work, but it returns on others. The plain fact, you have to find the baddie pgm. that it came with or fully re-install the whole enchilada when nothing seems to locate it. Such an innocent looking update too, but NO!
I found besides a pop-up, it can hijack the smaller side resident info link windows as well. What a pest.
Anyone have a deeper removal process? Yeah, I tried all the links on the WWW, so please point to something new or you think is better, I'm still open to suggestions.
