Ray,
Yes, it is indeed MBS, with it's offensive associates. It doesn't appear to
have complete control of my browser, but I'm still unhappy that it has
installed itself.
I will take a look at the you and yours web page and see if I can get
anymore information on how to remove it.
Thanks and kind regards
Colin

Colin, sounds like the dreaded MBS software you've downloaded, and
this has been featured twice on You and Yours, and you mightlike to
take a look on their web page for more on this - if this horrible
software allows you to do that, that is. Seems it virtually takes
over your browser until you pay up.
I hope it may be outlawed by unfair terms and conditions consumer
rights legislation. I believe YandY has had near 300 emails on this
subject.
For heavens sake folks, stay away from this nasty piece of work, so
typical of the techno thuggery pervading the net now.
Cheers,
From Ray

Hello,
I wonder if anyone else has experienced this. Somehow, without
authorisation or acceptance from me, a application called My Bill has
installed itself into my start up and placed a short cut on my
desktop.
It would appear that it is a bill collection scam by an outfit calling
itself Micro Bill Systems Ltd, based in Leeds.
They collect monies on behalf of web sites; mostly the unsavoury and
non christian types.
There claim is that I accepted the terms and conditions of a pop up
and subscribed to a site for a sum of £39.95, and because I did not
cancel the subscription within three days I am liable.
I have reported it to my local police and the trading standards offic,
as this practise is wholly unsolicitated, and what is more I was away
from my computer for a week during the time in which they claim the
acceptance was agreed.
My question is, how do I remove this application from my PC as I don't
seem to be able to locate an uninstall?
Many thanks
Colin
