Good. I hope they execute these vermin. Their malware is a royal pain in the arse to get rid of.

Do they mention the specific software “products” involved?

I just got one of these the other day. These are the *worst* of the spywares imo.

They’re semi-easy if you know what you’re doing and can get to safe mode with malwarebytes running, but otherwise you’re looking at an OS reinstall sometimes.

Beware of anything that offers a one-time scan of your PC for any reason.

I got nailed with this one when they infected a business partner’s website last summer. Took our IT folks two days to get the virus out, then another eight to deal with multiple reinstall issues involving Microsoft Vista and Service Pak 1.

If you have Win7 or Vista immediately turn off the power by holding down the power button for several seconds. DO NOT shutdown the normal way. Do not touch the warning box or attempt to close it. Just power off the computer and do not go back to that website when your computer restarts!

This garbage ruined my last computer. It was easier just to buy a new one than to try to get rid of it. with my limited knowledge.

Free scans are BS. I hope they cut off their hands. Next time they can write a virus with a pencil in their teeth.

What these enterprising folks (not the fbi, the other enterprising folks) need to do in appoint a vice-president in charge of when to close down operations and get the hell out of Dodge. Then, they need to listen to him when he says “enough.”

Way back at the $60 million mark, they had paid for expenses and salted some away for old age.

Greed gets them in the end ...
