I got this on my computer and I can't get it off.

Anyone ever had this? It turns your background red with a dark red virus smbol and tells you, you have to buy their SHIT to get the fucking thing off. It's a total scam.

I've run my anti-virus a couple of times and figured out how to get my background back and blocked about a dozen different sites that keep popping up but I'm still gettin pop-up messages trying to refer me to these bogus sites and if i leave my computer unattended (i have to close error messages fast or mor pop-ups happen) the fuckin' thing takes over again.

I've sent an e-mail to Norton support and am waiting for a reply, just wondering if anyone else has had this thing invade thier computer and wht you did.

Found a couple of sites that say they can remove it but am to scared to click on thier sites, don't know if the are legit or not.

Sometimes, stupid programs just stay stuck in your system. And most of the time, the only way to get rid of it is to format. Yeah, it sucks :(
