My sister just got this on her machine yesterday, along with the Windows Antivirus 2009. I suspect they were bundled together, but can’t say for sure. I was able to get rid of the Windows AV2009, but a couple of hours after that was done, this one showed up, and now I can’t even open the “Run” option in the start menu to get to a command prompt. I’m going to try to run it tomorrow in safe mode and attempt to remove all the files that way. Wish me luck…
