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
