<{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>WTF is with spyware? Why does it exist? Been on the comp trying to get rid of it with AVG FREE.
Yet pop-ups still come up from "Windows Virus Protection 2008" that say to "ACTIVATE NOW" or "Continue unprotected". I choose the ladder since the activation requires moneys. Getting freaking annoying that I cant remove the program since it doesnt appear on the add/remove programs list.</div>
Don't click either option. Close it from the task manager. If its anything like what I had to deal with, your computer can get infected simply by clicking anywhere on that ad.
Your comp might already be infected if it keeps popping up. When I get home, I'll give you a link to this forum I used when it happened to me. You'd post your problem and they'd have people that would walk you step-by-step through the problem. Worked perfectly for me.

It doesnt appear on the task manager. It's a box that kept on popping up every five minutes. Now it has just stopped since I used AVG Free and Windows Defender.
But seriously, wth is spyware? Some loser in a garage trying to get my credit card number?
