I know that I never clicked on any pop up (they're actually blocked on my end) and yet my entire system crashed in the blink of an eye... no warning. And, as it happened to me is not uncommon.

The number one culprit? Car dealership sites. Not what I was visiting, but still it would seem pretty tame to visit such a site.

It seems that these days, more needs to be done server-side to protect surfers, if sites want return visitors and referals. After this, I'm sure that my surfer will be limited even more so.

The last time I had a machine go completely down was the late '90s.

it reinstalls itself with as the ".dll" file that is why it keeps on coming back.

That guy probably had to go in by following the path to delete it from the main file and then run superantispy again. I like that program, have it as one of our arsenals.

more than likely, this thing came from one of those "unsafe" sites that probably use unsafe streaming or bit torrents or stuff like that...

anyways, hope you got rid of it for good....
