Buysmarter.com No escape hook program Internet
The program comes on as a message from msn stating that a worm has been found in the computer. By clicking on further information, you enter a program from which there is no escape or cancel options.
$39.99 is automatically charged against you with the option of another $79.99 annually.
Msn denies any knowledge of the program and provides a website which goes back to QWest...who also denies that they have any information.
Thanks to Ad-Aware, I became aware that spy programs were locked into my computer through the "Buysmarter.com" program. It also shows up as "Intelligent desktop."
I really would like to know how to get rid of this program!

After logging on to the internet, a message popped up stating that a virus had been detected on our computer. After clicking to destroy the virus, a full page screen with an ad for firewall product appeared. This screen did not have a way to escape or close, the only option to get out of the screen was to turn off the computer!
I hope this is not a valid Norton product! We do have Norton Anti-Virus on our computer, so thought it was okay.
Please warn others not to open this program!
