There's Some jerk out there calling himself "Majic Software, Inc:"
that's trying to sell a virus-catcher. Avoid him like the PLAGUE: his
so-called "DEMO" pops up every 100 seconds and is a major PAIN in the
POSTERIOR. I've filed complaints with Illinois Attorney General,
SecState, ICC and USATTGeneral's office. You can't get the software off,
and it pops up every 100-120 seconds with another "ad" that blocks any
keystrokes until you select one of its options. Always select "Stay
Unprotected", unless you want to buy their software. (Not recommended.)
The so-called "viruses" I that I had from it's so-called :free check"
were so old that I long ago had protection against them.
Down in the bottom right corner, look for a blue/white shield trying to
look like the Windoze ikon.

I don't know if this is a complete solution, but I offer it as MY best
effort.
One of the program names involved is "Biykosz.exe". My "infection" took
place on 6/15/2009. Since I knew that my last "*.exe" update took place
before that by several weeks, I ran aWindoze Search for all *.exe files.
Everything dated after that was deleted. When I found files that
wouldn't "delete", I renamed them by adding a "x" to the program name. I
was then able to delete them, without problems. There fore I make these
suggestions:
1. Keep records of any program updates, with time and date.
2. Run "Search" on a regular basis, on ALL drives. Sort the results by
time/date by clicking on that column heading and remove anything after
your last voluntary update.
