"When I find the bastards who programmed this thing I'd be happy to castrate them with a pair of dull pinking shears,"

Good line.

Healan said some installations probably occurred when people clicked "OK" in a pop-up box without really knowing what they had agreed to, or when they meant to close the pop-up window.

That's my excuse.

Well, stupid me. I went back to the site to see what it was I installed. When the popup came up... "do you want to install", I clicked on "No". It went ahead and installed anyway.

It IS that "Xupiter" thing that was installed.

Now I'm off to find "Spybot Search & Destroy".

Thanks for the article.
