It might just be your computer. I am having no problems what so ever with having spyware downloading on to my computer. Yeah, I get pop-ups, but everywhere you join you get that now! rolleyes.gif
Make sure you don't have a virus or a trojan on your computer already from other place......that might be your problem. Not all ani-virus/trojan dectection software can detect them all.
If that is not the case then, I am not sure as to what to tell you. I am staying in it all because I have a huge downline and I want to keep it. Yes, I know that sounds like I am being greedy, but I don't care! I haven't gotten paid by alot of places and this is the first program that I feel I will actually get paid from!!!

Nothing being installed here, either. I think someone else gave you a little surprise there, Geldwolfje.

I'm getting it as well luckily my antispyware blocks it from ever being put on my system. I've noticed it on several programs now sad.gif

So sorry you guys. It will be removed right away. It was just a way to bring in additional income. sad.gif

So how come Geldwolfje & usdollars got it and the rest didn't? Or did we get it and did we not notice? Hard to do with the complete McAfee Securitycenter but who knows. wink.gif

Really not sure, but it's better to just remove it and not have any problems then to keep it and risk having spyware added to our computers.

If you use Search&Destroy's Immunize feature -- it will block known Spyware from even being installed. Everytime I come upon a site with FastAdvert on it, S&D gives a message that it was blocked wink.gif

If you want to take it a step further, SpywareBlaster is the next level -- great tool.

QUOTE
Immunize Search & Destroy
Beginning from version 1.2, Spybot-S&D allows you to immunize your computer against some spyware. It currently offers three different immunities:

Permanent Internet Explorer immunity

Similar to JavaCools SpywareBlaster, this allows you to tweak some internal Internet Explorer settings to block the installation of known spyware (and similar threats) installers. Spybot-S&D is able to set all entries for those that are in its database to be blocked. If you want to distinguish, you should install SpywareBlaster.

Permanently running bad download blocker for Internet Explorer

This is a second layer of protection for IE. While the Permanent Immunity blocks installers by their ActiveX ID, this one blocks anything that should come through by different aspects.
You can view a log of blocked installers in the Tools / Resident section.

Recommended miscellaneous protections

These are very small changes recommended to make your system a bit safer and more secure. Locking the hosts file will prevent most hosts hijackers (even unknown) from doing harm; locking the IE settings will prevent other users of your computer to change your preferences.
