Oh well...the good guys at Safer-Networking.org may be able to help you out :) Finally, I'd dump McAfee, Norton and the like...go for either Kaspersky/Zone Alarm...for firewalls and anti spyware...(hey, these actually work)! What a hazard to navigate through the Web these days...sigh Hey Jim,

Mcaffee can't clear it. Even windows defender can't, but at least they identify it. Tried running about 3 other spyware removers, and none can find it. How do I get rid of it?

I have McAfee Security Center and Windows Defender running, and I’ve never had a piece of junk I couldn’t remove.

Seriously, nothing can get rid of it. I think I'm going to have to do a complete wipe. Frustrating. Plus, it takes like 10 minutes to shut the thing down. "End now" "End now", etc... Argh. It's hosed. I think lately I’m really frustrated because my pc laptop has such a bad popup spyware in it that I cannot remove it, no matter what I run. Seriously, nothing can get rid of it.

I capture and edit them with iMovie, and that program hangs up or closes without warning all the time on me.
