Ok djdanny, lets go for your

It is not malware, it is optional ad-ware that is not harmful and is certainly not a virus.
You can call it what you will, it is agressive advertising, i have been on a computer after this was installed and every 30 seconds or so, up pops an advert.
I have tried to get rid of it with no luck, yes someone may have tried to uninstall it using malware remover, apparently this damages the uninstall package and can make it impossible to remove without reinstalling it, then removing it 'properly'.
How handy that is, i'm sure that the folk that wrote this 'clever' little programme could have prevented this damage if they wished. Also, do you not see that most people see this as malware? that is obvious as most people use a malware remover to attempt to get rid of it.
As i mentioned, i am not the only one, many many people are very angry with what has happened.
I'm no expert but i am pretty savvy when it comes to computers, if i have had such trouble then imagine the problems a newbie must have.
I have read the instructions from Patchou, i shall give it a try and let you know how it went, either way, my point from my last post

Why anyone would even think of purchasing anything from those companies that are involved in this sort of advertising is beyond me.
If I see a pop up i take down the company name and exit the browser.
I then refuse to use that company, another potential customer gone.
still stands, im amazed anyone that wishes their programme to be seen as legit would stoop to these levels.
Menthix, i shall take a look, if i am wrong then i stand corrected, i would normally apologise but i still think this is very wrong, i asked who in their right mind would install something on purpose that would annoy the hell out of them. You and i know the answer, noone!! So those that have written this software are hoping that people will unwittingly install the advertising software along with it. Very underhand IMHO.
