I have a rogue program on my desktop which I clear including the keys in
regedit but it keeps coming back. I have contacted the originator who swears
that I have signed up for 'Get Films Now' (Platte international). No one has
from this PC. They say they want paying but no one has ordered anyting - nor
will we. How do I get rid of this invasion permanently? I have Windows
LiveOne Care and all the usual antispyware stuff but it does not pick it up
or remove it.
Any guidance will be appreciated
