This one doesn't seem to be affecting things too much EXCEPT
that I now have a wallpaper that won't go away. It's a blood-
red screen with a black area in the middle with "DANGER: SPYWARE"
flashing in huge red letters. Then it goes on to tell me how
I can pay them extortion money (my words not theirs) "for as
low as $49.95" to get rid of the ****. My homepage had also
been replaced by a warning from them, that I was being watched,
along with listing my DNS etc. etc. (I think I've gotten
rid of that problem, but the wallpaper I haven't been able to.)

All this crap started yesterday after very briefly visiting
an adult site. I wish they all had one neck and my hands
were around it. It'll stop when these scum start being sent
to prison for doing this. I've run HijackThis and Spybot,
and have of course tried to change my wallpaper, but of course
they've covered that and I can't override what they've done.
Not yet anyway. Anybody know about this one and what to
do to solve it? Thanks a bunch.
