Beware of this one, it sucks.
I had just hooked my laptop up to my new wireless network and somehow this wormed its way in. Even though I use Netscape, it got by the blocker somehow, installed, and now launches IE, tons of pop-ups, constant java prompts to download more crap, etc.
Here is a good descriptive blog entry on it:

Anybody heard of this yet? It's a bitch and it seems that Spybot and Ad-Aware don't cover it yet so I have to root it out manually.

Whatever this thing is. Its really nasty. Neither Ad-ware, Search and Destroy and any other spyware busting program out there works on it. Although I have swapped with Mozilla, it is able to open new tabs in that, as well as automatically opens my IE.
Its called: pwnage Clans And hacks
In order to get rid of it, I have to go into my directory and delete files.
Here is a message board convo about it.
I am trying to follow the directions, but its difficult to run anything when browser windows keep popping up and crashing, and your computer is working at crawling speed.
I am very sulky about it, if anyone has any brigher ideas about this. I would so apreiciate it.
