Rahul: very nice and informative. I am one of the unlucky ones to get to level 2, but never id level 1. Had a problem about 6 months ago where it comes in piggybacked to and application. How do I get control back of my system?

Hi Guys, I think the best way to prevent something like that happen is to download antispyware software only from microsoft download center.^^

Hi Rahul:
Good and informative write-up. It would be nice if you also provide some information on preventive measures (apart from buying McAfee ), as being asked by Ken also.

Hi Ken:
There can be more than one fake sites. I could get the following:
1.vvindowsupdate.com (notice the double ‘v’ that together shape like w)
2.maxing-search.com
You can find more on the following blog:

Be nice to know the URL of the fake site, so I can put a block in the school firewall.
