Sorry, meant to write "Colin" where I put "Roger" below.  Senile moment which 
lasts longer than it used to!  <Smiles>

  Hi Carol

  You mis-read my post. I've not had this threat just ones like it and that was 
the way I finally dealt with it and it worked.

  Roger

  Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

    Ah, I see.  Trouble is, they get you over a barrel then, don't they, 
especially as you're discouraged from trying to remove manually!  Hmmm!

    Roger - we do hope you sort this thing well and very soon.  Let us know how 
you do it, please.

      Carol,

      True, but SpyNoMore is not a free program.

      George.

      George and all,

      The first link you gave gives information about the threat and at the 
bottom there's a link which takes you to download spynomore which, it appears, 
is the best way to remove it.

      Please correct me if I'm wrong . . ..  I just took a cursory look, in 
case I should need to know.

        Looks like this is well known, but I can't find out how you remove it.

        The Guardian newspaper have two reports I found on it - links below.

        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
