   yes. please do so immediately. virus warnings, adult content and other pop-ups are mere “invitation” to give out personal credit card details. it is a SCAM as they may not even be a legit company. buy online from credible businesses only.

   I think you probably made a bad choice of anti spy software….

   Any of the following would be better choices….

   Spy Sweeper 5.5 with Antivirus
   • Spy Sweeper 5.2 with Antivirus
   • Norton Internet Security 2007
   • Spyware Doctor 4.0

   Anti – Spyware Scanners
   There are several Anti-Spyware Scanners out
   there and some can be mis-leading and some are
   what are called Rogue Anti-Spyware Programs.
   Most of the time, users, don’t know which ones
   are good and which ones are bad.

   Most of these that are bad usually charge or try
