Spyware!! Why won't it go away?
I just spent the morning scanning for and removing spyware. Cool, my computer works better, faster and less pop-ups.  Think I’ll run out for a coffee and get my work done. You return with a coffee and there are tons of pop-up’s and a bunch of spyware on your computer again. Argh!
