I am a seasoned adware/spyware combat specialist since I go around town and fix other people's PC for a living.
Recently, I came across something I haven't seen before and could not defeat.
This ladies XP home edition's destop looks like its been taken over by a ad warning of spyware infection and a link for instructions to remove it. And for a mere $60 dolllars they'll sell you a tool to do it.
I can tell its not really the desktop cause I could see a mere sliver of the actual destop showing behind it.
I updated and scanned with both Spybot and Adaware 6.0 and they cleaned up 800 plus objects but not this problem.
Has anyone seen this particular problem and any clues how to deal with it?
