- There is a free program called Spybot Search and Destroy. You can download it once you set it up it will check for over 700k known threats. I just used it on my week old laptop and I already had 20 threats. Care's computer is seriously infected with pop-ups. It's good to get on top of these things before they get out of hand. -Phil Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device from U.S. Cellular -----Original Message----- From: "Libby Morehead" <gmalibby@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2009 22:26:15 To: <geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [GeoStL] Re: NCR: Alpha Antivirus - Lane, I don't know how to do a spybot sweep.

I think it was some kind of pop-up ad. I did a spybot sweep and a restart and it went away. ------Original Message------ From: Libby Morehead Sender: geocaching-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ReplyTo: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [GeoStL] NCR: Alpha Antivirus Sent: Nov 9, 2009 10:03 PM - Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable GlacierAlpha Antivirus has somehow become installed on my laptop (bought = from eBay) and won't go away.
