I went on to Cyberangels website yesterday and was
immediately redirected to a trashy, porn site. Not only
that, but IST installed a toolbar, downloaded numerous
trashy porn folders with filth, filth, filth and I had to
uninstall the toolbar, clear my history and am still not
sure I am rid of the scum (mere words cannot describe the
garbage that I was plagued with). Anyone else been given
this "gift"? How do you prevent it?

Install either but both are not necessary, reboot, read FAQ and overview, use
online update feature to obtain the latest reference files, scan for Spyware
much like you would with your pre-installed anti-virus scanner.
