Probably too poor.

Seriously though, what kind of person get adware in this day and age?
If you're asking me, most likely middle-aged people — the ones that have grown up without computers but who are now expected to use them in their jobs and such.

trend micro is one of the worst pay for antivirus programs to get, also you can configure it to allow printer sharing and all that jazz without turning it off, also what on earth were you browsing on IE for that to pop up? "how to search for free downloads without getting a virus on a mac" ?

That was a great popup, very hilarious. I hope you ran some scans to clean that up in case that was from your system.

I got a similar message several days ago. It wouldn't let me cancel, when I did, every time, the message would immediately reappear as soon as I clicked out of it. The only way to get rid of it was to accept the download or kill off firefox.exe through Task Manager.

I ended up clicking OK-and shouldn't have-but immediately closed out the offending tab-also I'm logged on as a limited account.

First of all, I don't have a DVD-RAM drive, and although I partitioned my drive, the second partition (where I put all my files) is not assigned to drive D: (I gave it F: through the Disk Manager)
