I had that same issue... you get it from porn sites... well at least that's where I got it (twice). I've never gotten it from any other site, either.

I tried Spybot and the fucking thing kept hanging up toward the end (while it was deleting the files) and I had to end task it... finally, I just formatted (something I needed to do anyway).

Lesson here... no go to porn sites, they are bad... very bad... besides you just end up seeing the SAME fucking clips OVER and OVER.

Porn sites suck for movies. Pics is where it's at for sites. If you want video you're better off with p2p

I know what they are talking about though now... its a browser hijack where your about:blank html page is replaced by a shitty page with lots of links and a couple popups.
