    You got a new hard drive because of that? Seems a tad drastic.

    Anyhow, it's about time someone went after these clowns. I'm constantly cleaning machines due to someone clicking on the pop ups saying their machine is infected.

    LOL no kidding.... could do 2 things...
    1, run Hijackthis and have somebody on a spyware forum go threw it for you..
    Good place for this is Tomcoyote but I think they recently changed the name..

    2. Format and reload... I do this once a year anyways because I like a clean running machine.
