My dear sweet wife decided to download and install some stuff from Iwon.com "It had a fun slot machine," she said. "...and you can win prizes."

I'll give you a prize....

I spent all evening working to get rid of msbb, winka, search assistant, windupdates, and some others. What a pain in the rump roast. I think I have it back under control. Keeping fingers crossed.

Ouch, don't you hate when that happens? At least you're one of the "fortunate" ones who can remove that stuff. Some people go and buy a whole new computer because they think theirs is toast! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Rainband had a good one..if it comes back..or the ole Add/Remove programs--> Spyware/Adware removal tools..

The folks that come up with this balogny spyware and such NEED to find something better to do.

Earlier this summer, our entire family had a nasty bout of spyware, spam, virus problems on all three of the computers connected to the internet.

I am very picky at what I download anymore. Usually, it is just PowerPoint files that my instructors place on the Internet, and that is about it.
