re: THE ONLY occasion where this shitware has convinced me to spend money is when I bought the software to remove it...
I've often wondered this with virus's going around...
Could it be that the virus removal program creators are also releasing the virus's so that we must buy their software?
This is an area where the government should get involved and seriously prosecute those who are responsible...This crap slows down everything, including our economy. It's released by either sadists, or some other brand of a leech on society.
Who's interest is it to launch these things? That is a great question.
