I see this thread needs a response so here it is:
I had the misfortune of buying and installing an app from Bishop Anders of
seotrafficsuite.com - I am NOT naming the software because I paid for it
and I may install it again on a dedicated desktop later.
I got the product through a reputable marketeer who made a commission,
I don't think my referrer tested it before recommending it!
Needless to say that was the last product I bought from my referrer!
--> NB - please don't refer software or ebooks that you have NOT used <--
That's the biggest problem with the Clickbank system!
Bishop's app had a Trojan that Avast warned me about.
That yellow pop up you guys are getting is not a regular pop-up,
it's a desktop messenger app and came bundled with the software.
He calls it Special Operations Software.
And he has the nerve of offering a service that allows others to promote their offers to "many desktops around the world"
(through his Special Operations Software, obviously)
I got rid of it by going in the Registry and finding and deleting all references
to the software that installed it.
NB - make sure you back up your registry file before making changes!
WARNING - if you've never done this before, learn on a system you won't mind reformatting!
The steps are:
Start
RUN
regedit
now the Registry Editor is active.
EDIT
Find
the find menu pops up -> check all three boxes Keys, Values, Data.
and enter the name of the software.
carefully delete each occurrence.
Restart.
If you get the Messenger window again,
repeat the steps and
Find
Special Operations
or variations thereof,
and again carefully delete each occurrence.
Note to Diamond Dave, I know this is NOT a hacking forum, but this was the only way I found to get rid of Bishop Anders criminal behavior!
BTW, the Special Operations Software allows him to see everything you're doing while connected to the NET.
