If they infected myspace users computers, do you realize how many people are infected?
Class action lawsuits would also work if you can all install this crap on your computers and literally film the hijack (SnagIt has a video capture option). Find the lawyers to take it on.
All I know is that bastard program was on my husband's computer last week and I wasted 2-3 hours trying to remove it & still the thing would come back after a reboot. Cleaned out the registries and all and it was still coming back. I'm pretty good at keeping my computers clean and cleaning them up - do you think normal surfers are successful at doing this? I finally gave up and told hubby to use the laptop for now until I can get to it again with that link I posted earlier.

You just made a statement " help them clean their pcs" then followed upo with " how in the hell will normal surfers be able to do this?". You explained just explained why educating the surfer is not an realistic option. If it took you and your husband hours to get the shit uninstalled and even then it kept coming back how do you expect new online users to get this fixed ?
I understand it is good PR for them to know it is not us doing it, but really that doesn't matter too much one way or the other if they can't get the crap off of their PC it is still costing me sales.
I will be seriously looking into the class action lawsuit today. Curious to see what an attorney would say about this, case or no case? You never know with those guys.
