    Hello guys, I’m new here and posting because I seem to have caught something (err... my pc did :) ).

    I recently downloaded a file that installed a virus of some sort; I now get an icon in my toolbar spamming me to buy this product. I also get several pop ups containing nudity.

    Clicking on the icon in the toolbar takes me here:


    thespyguard.com

    I ran a spywere removal tool and a virus removal tool, it still showed up there.

    Thank you for reading,

    -Gridden.
