Default Re: OT: Spyware

I had one of these hit me today, despite running adaware and anti virus.

Turned out a vbs script had gotten itself into my startmenu>startup folder. No idea how, but I deleted it easily enough. I also had to kill a process called "SCRIPT" or something and I seem to be fine now, without even rebooting.

I've also noticed that my google browser bar is starting to let some popups through- it seems the spammers have taken the lead in the permanent struggle between popups and blockers. No update from google to counter it yet=-(
