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?
