Has anyone else had an unfortunate runin with an ugly piece of spyware called ‘VirusBlaster’? It poses as an Internet Security update, and then fills your computer with x-rated popups.

The Fix: I found a yahoo! answers article about a program called ‘Rougefix’, and being as I was about to wipe my C: drive and reinstall windows, I figured it was worth a shot. So… I tried it, and it worked! Ha Haaa! Look for Roguefix.bat if you ever get any of the virusburster family malware, this does it.Thank you, Google!
