Subject: RE: Tech: Antivirus 2009 Scam/Antivirus Plus Infection
I've been reinstalling my computer after replacing the hard drive (the problem wasn't a virus, it was a program that didn't go quietly when it was uninstalled. Since a lot of work is involved, I figured I'd do it on a bigger new fast hard drive.) I see that the first link I posted to BleepingComputer went awry (it has a mudcat address chunk it in somehow).

The ironic thing is that when these sites have ads served by Google, you can actually end up with problem software prominently displayed in the site with the solution and have to pay attention and avoid the ads and getting the wrong software.

Buyer beware, even when it's free! I'm glad the answers worked for you. I'm loading my usual set of programs (AVG Antivirus, Spybot, Spywareblaster, Kerio, WinPatrol. . .).
