Pop-up

[Mike Pyner]

Has anyone had a pop-up called AltPayments.exe. It pops up on me once in a
while and i have no idea where it came from. What are the usual things
running in the task manager when no other programs are running? Anyone have
a list?
Thanks

It comes from when you went to a undesirable site.

You need to get hold of a good spyware scanner and scanning your system.
I would recommend using two spyware scanners as one program could miss
something and the other could something else

spybot search and destroy =

ad-aware = http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html
Microsoft antispyware (beta) =
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx

These should be some help to you.
