VirusBursters

[manueljsoler]

Does any one know how to remove this pest from my computer. I got it when I downloaded from C/net a progroma to decompress .rar files.

The spyware installs an icon on the service tray, that pops every minute or so a window that warns you that your computer is under attack and that by clicking on the window you will be taken to the site with all available software. The site is no other than the one that sells Virusbursters an antivirues program. What a way to market a produt.

I have written to the company for instructions to remove the Icon but they of course have no responded. I have tried several pieces of antyspy software including spybot but all have failed.

There is a company that sells a program to remove this threat specifically but I suspect it is the same company that sells Virusbursters.

I will appreciate if someone helps me to remove the icon from my tray.

Thanks,

Manuel
