Ok I went to the site
www.adaware.com and downloaded their anti-spyware.
When I clicked on it to install, I didn't get a Wizard prompt, it started eating my machine. My machine just started buzzing, and then I noticed that my entire desktop had vanished.
So I went into my program files and actually watched as it started deleting folders.
I turned the computer off, and when I logged back on windows wouldn't load. It gave me a variety of errror messages starting with various files being corrupted and culminated with unable to find WIN.COM so unable to continue loading windows.
So. What happened. Is that that like a stalking horse site or something? Just a place to simulate the right software and load into our machines as some super virus?
I was serioulsy annoyed.
Before that I had tried Spybot.com, but the download wouldn't execute.
