Try this link (http://www.neowin.net/comments.php?id=13488) for some &#39;useful&#39; info...

Also, Norton (http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nip.nsf/33e52197341bf25988256a9b007e63c2/0b71ddbd3f9d8f3e88256a780056e313?OpenDocument&src=bar_sch_nam) seem to have some info on it. It is basically Malicious Software (hence malware).

After you have read this document, try looking in your control panel > add or remove programs > look in this list if anything is installed that looks similar to this.

Also, search in and around the folder you located this malware, and look for and uninstall. Most have a red cross through them (that is, if it&#39;s a &#39;legit&#39; piece that has been installed with your consent).

REMEMBER - ALWAYS READ WHAT YOU ARE INSTALLING. UNTICK BOXES SUCH AS &#39;ADD AOL ITEM TO DESKTOP&#39;. ALSO, NEVER ACCEPT THEM POP-UPS LIKE &#39;DO YOU ACCEPT THE AGGREEMENT FROM GATOR AGREEMENT LALALA ETC...&#39;

how did u get it ? i seem to have got it as my wife was browseing some cooking sites <_< edit : funny thing is though my wife didnt want to dl anything or install any software , she just wanted to read the recipe on that page , somehow due to active scripting that i have turned on it seems to have installed itself :o

Have a look in the running processes by clicking CTRL ALT DELETE to see if its still active in your system.
