I’ve got Adware at work.

And I can’t get rid of it. IT has yet to show.

Anyway, there is a “Having Trouble Uninstalling?” link at the bottom of their page.  
It says I should download their uninstaller.  
HA!

Likely lunacy.

Anybody know how I can fix this?  
It’s @#$%ing up my machine. :mad: :mad: :mad:

State to your boss that in the interests of preserving the security of the firm’s data, you are unable to use the computer. And go home. 😃

Tech support solved it.

Do those people **really** think that the best way to solve problems is to piss people off? 😕
