Has anyone in this forum run across Antispam 2009? This somehow got installed on my husband's PC and it is super hard to remove. The ZoneAlarm had expired and he started getting these "windows-like" messages that said Spyware was found on the PC and in order to prevent any damage, we should activate Spyware 2009 immediately. I have since put McAfee on the system and it found a few of the Antispam 2009 files, but I think I might need to tinker with the registry in order to get this to stop "running" in the system tray. By "running" I mean getting it to stop putting these windows-like messages up on the screen indicating that the PC has been infected with spyware and that we should "click this balloon to fix the problem..." If you click the balloon, it goes to the web and proceeds to download Antispam 2009. Also would like the icon for this to be removed from the system tray.

Does any one know anything about this?
