Hi there.

Did you ever get an alert on your computer saying you have a virus or spyware, and you run the program scans your cpu and shows a virus or spyware, and you click remove spyware and it sais $50.00 to remove spyware?

This is what i call: EXTORTION-WARE, they are correct you have a virus or spyware because THEY put it there, they are selling a virus/spyware protection program, but not a very good one and they are in effect trying to EXTORT $50.00 from you, they even disable your current antivirus software, leaving you vulnerable to more problems.

Unfortunately it is VERY hard to get rid of their program they make so many copies of the program and use every trick in the book to make sure you can't get rid of it so to make you pay the $50.00 extortion, the best way to get rid of such a program is usually to save your data and re-install windows with a good anti virus/spyware, and make sure you don't go back to the site you got infected, unfortunately, the program often waits 24 hours before activating, so it is almost impossible to know where you got it from, but one thing you MUST NEVER DO is pay them, NEVER EVER.
