Yeah, I guess maybe I'll have to download that Adware remover and spybot stuff.

I installed Adware and continued to get those pesky pop ups.
So then I installed Spybot and it found a few things. One of which was the name of one of the pop ups I was getting.

It was from an internet security company. That's some business plan they have. They install a bot that pops open windows telling me that my PC is at risk and I should use their software to remove the problems it has detected...

Isn't that one of the tactics the mob uses...

Hopefully they are not fitting me for a pair of cyber cement shoes, now.
