It's horrible that the bastard creators of this spyware can get away with it. I can't believe I fell for it. I thought I had serious computer issues and then the window's update icon kept telling me that I had a virus and that software was downloaded automatically...I didn't even think twice, I just needed my computer operational. I sure hope they don't do anything funny with the bank account information. I am just beside myself.

Thanks for your input, Grinler.

Contact the bank that issued your charge card (or check card or whatever) and tell them to deny any further charges from the rogue company. You can also request the original charge be reversed because it was a result of fraud. Your bank should accomodate that request and is obligated to block your account from further charges from the purpetrator of the fraud.

Trust me when I tell you that it is not as hard as it looks. Just follow the steps one at a time and be patient and you will get through it.
