I don't download "free" stuff....although I would note this problem started after I downloaded Google Earth. I guess you could call that "free?" No, that's another thread, several chapters of what google plants in your computer for their "free" google earth and "free" google chrome. I stand corrected, if you havent added any toolbars or browser addons, I don't know how to got this malware. I would add be careful when you upgrade anything from adobe like Flash or something like upgrading Java. If you're not careful, you'll click right thru their choices where they are asking "are you really really sure you want to proceed?", you'll notice they are asking you if you want some free crap like toolbars. Like this one gives you "free" Mcafee..... get.adobe.com Java installs the Ask toolbar for "free" if you don't stop it. java.com In both examples, by default, the malware will be installed. You must say no or you're stuck with it. Good luck
