Adding to replies... are you aware of Identity Theft ? You had better
do a helluva lot more than try and get your money back ! Call your
card company and cancel the card - explaining the situation. They will
issue you a new number. Install quality antivirus and antispyware and
anti-rootkit as well as a personal firewall. COMPLETELY scan your pc
until you are convineced there are no malware threats particularly
keyloggers for one. THEN change all your passwords. Most IDTheft
occurs on "repeat" customers such as you have foolishly involved
yourself in - sorry to say. ..... dude / hit it ---

a-squared (a-squared) is a complementary product to antivirus software

specializes in detecting classic viruses. Many available products have
weaknesses in detecting other malicious software (Malware) like
Trojans, Dialers, Worms and Spyware (Adware). a-squared fills the gap
that malware writers exploit.

Again, cancel your card immediately is the best advice. ID sells for
as cheap as 14 dollars each on the cyber criminal underground. Because
of your communications with this cyber criminal - they know you still
haven't canceled your card or notified authorities and may have found
your posts right here with a simple google search. To them that means
the card is still good for maxxing it out at least for a couple days
without fear of prosecution. Unfortunately they are deeming you a
chump - period. Street-wise, they are "cold blooded killers" - so
there is no way to take it personal, they are plain money hungry
animals.... protect yourself !

There is no magic solution. Get tools, updates, and instructions from a
different, known-clean computer. Your alternative is to either take the
infected machine to a professional computer repair shop (not a
BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place) or back up your data and do a
clean install of Windows. Your choice.

I have the same problem. This Antivirus loaded itself when I logged onto a
site for posters. I can't get rid of it but and I tried to go to the
www.bleepingcomputessite and I'm told that I can't do that. So now what am I
to do?

I couldn't get to Malke's link either. I was able to bring it up by typing
the URL into FF.
However, no links on the page work, and it appears the site is having
problems.
