Does this mess get downloaded from Windows XP automatic updates???
To: ExTexasRedhead
I haven't seen a download from MS do that.
I would think though that if the computer was already compromised, all kinds of stuff could download at all times, including automatic update time.
It wouldn't be automatic updates doing it, it would be the hackers who send maybe a key logger as you use the Internet.

I don’t think so. My wife had it start it scan and install when she went to a web site. Some how she thought she was going to a sewing site and ... bang, this AV program shows up.

The guys whose computers I cleaned were browsing a porn website at work. Either that or they clicked on a link they got in an email. What they got was a message they thought came from a legitimate virus scanner. They OKed whatever it asked.
