I have spywareBot. It detected a trojan virus and said I have to register to remove it. I paid the $29.00 to register and the instructions are to uninstall spywarebot and install Spyware STOP. Am I being duped Thanks Dale

Yes, I think it's a scam, Dale. I would call your bank and tell them you were duped and would like to challenge the charge. I think they will most likely remove it, may in fact give you a new card and number. Try to get whatever Spyware Stop is off of your system. If you have to go into safe mode and remove it from there. Good luck! Elaine Education is the jewel casting brilliance into the future. --Mari Evans Hello DALE On Thursday, June 25, 2009, you wrote > I have spywareBot.

I think that is the same one I bought earlier this year and it didn't remove whatever it was it claimed it would. I complained to them and they issued credit.

DC> Am I being duped Sorry, but this is all fake alerts to get you to buy a useless bit of software - you can say goodbye to the money :-( I'd recommend you remove Spyware Bot if it will let you and then download the free Malware Bytes ( www.malwarebytes.org ) and do a full scan of your system - remove everything that it finds. If you used a credit card for the purchase it would be prudent to consider it compromised and get it stopped / replaced too !! -- Best regards, Barry mailto:barry@yobunny.co.uk MicroSoft Free Zone running Ubuntu 9.04 'Jaunty'
