<<What are your problems exactly?>> Appears to be really malicious adware....installed a bunch of junk that put about a half dozen new icons on my desktop, and anytime I open up internet explorer or Netscape it pops open 3 or 4 new browser windowns running ads. And when I try to remove the rogue program using the add/remove programs function in control panel, it locks up (the one given me the most trouble is titled "My Daily Horoscope". It also won't let me properly shut down, I have to power off every time. And even when I don't open IE or Netscape, performance really sucks; everything is really slow....I don't think its that JPG bug because the intent seems to be to jam me with ads. Any/all suggestions welcome....I plan on downloading ad-aware tonight and giving that a try.
