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.

      George.

      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
