Oh do I have a doozy of a spyware/adware program. I'm not sure how I got it. My sister had turned the computer off and when i came home from work and turned it on, the display settings were changed to the lowest option and there were icons on my desktop that I did not put there. Not very nice things either. So I poked around online about one of them, Extra Antivir which tries to fool you into buying fake antivirus software that will only further open your computer to threats. And it turns out getting rid of it is really hard. Ay yi yi. If there is anything in the world I hate, it is computer viruses and all that tracking spy/adware!

I don't know if i can trust downloading another tool just to remove it. I'm always wary of that. :/
