Ever notice how these things hit on weekends? I've came down with one yesterday. It's a browser hijack thing that fouls Up the browser where it opens many windows and turns your pointer into a circle with an up and down arrow in it and the screen bounces around uncontrollably. It also effects the keyboard and mouse control in all other programs where I have a hard time using computer. These insidious things go away when a fix out without announcement. None of my antispyware is working. It sure was tough getting thistext out.

Nope, no internet porn. I learned my lesson years ago with that one.


My Search and Destroy says it's FunWebproducts PUPS, but can't fix it, because the file is in use.
