OK so I think I got rid of it. It was listed as Yontoo. I removed it and it seems to be gone.

i need to watch that. i keep hearing the "is it safe?" line, and i know it's from that scene, but i have no frame of reference. i'm like a child that walks into the middle of a movie...

most of your computer problems would be solved if you

a) replace said computer with a mac
b) dump windows for some form of linux.

trouble with option b is, depending on your choice, you may get a whole new set of problems...

anyone can run Ubuntu.
