BY FUCKING SPYWARE!!! It looks like a FAKE WINDOWS SECURITY CENTER, and I keep getting pop ups for this antivirus that I didn't install. After some research, I found out it has to do with some horrific security holes in Internet Explorer. Thing is, I don't even use IE. And now it has highjacked my google results. I click on a link and it takes me to an ad for antivirus software.

It's going to be a long day. But if anyone knows about some spyware that disguises itself as a fake Windows Security Center, please let me know.

SHIT! SHIT!
SHIT! SHIT!

Nope, just some ads for crap like drugs and antispyware bloatware.

Spyware and viruses are like AIDS.
