Thanks for the warning...that's the last thing I need...just got back up and running a couple of weeks ago from the Smart Trojan worm I picked up at Embroidery Passbook then...that took me three weeks and a new operating system to deal with...

Probably the same one I just got, Smart Shield. I think I finally got it off.

Make sure you run a scan in "safe mode". Run scans until they show no problems and then boot into normal mode and run scans again. Good luck!

Thanks, I followed the directions on Malwarebytes to use Chameleon (a component of their scanner) and it caught it, after that everything else worked. It even stopped my Microsoft Security Essentials.

I think it happened when I clicked the A on the free Applique alpha. Not positive though. What a day waster that was!
If you do get the pop ups, don't touch it, close your browser and restart your computer and then scan for viruses and malware.
