I don't know what you're complaining about. I mean, it did say those were "the spyware presents", didn't it? And you got no less than six presents. ROTFLMAO.

Hey, just a tip, this is another version of the SpyFalcon malware. It was very difficult to remove until I ran across this page:

Tteddo: I don't think it is.

Alex, I was thinking of downloading a toolbar from ClickCrawler.com. Is the toolbar safe?

We've not run across it in malware research, but why bother? Stick with the known ones -- Google, etc.

Well, I was being ironic. Jeez...

@Qubec: I find a grim sense of humor in these things, given the previous article. While it's funny in a test environment, it's not amusing at all once it gets out into the wild.

@TNT: Don't worry about it. I laughed.

I officially state that TNT was a) attempting to be funny/ironic and b) his attempt worked quite well.

Hope that settles it.

i've got this bugger on my dad's pc.
anyone know how to get rid of it?
I've tried the usual steps using Ad Aware, spyware blaster and AVg anti virus.

I may have to remove manually.

Thanks
