Help! I didn't ask for this on my PC!

That's right, I keep getting this strange popup on my machine. Sad to say it, but I've clearly bitten off more than I can chew. I've tried everything - Hijack This, Ad-Aware, guns and psychotherapy - yet still it returns! In fact...oh God! Here it comes again!! What is the meaning of this intrusion?...




















Oh right - this thing. For those too scared to click the link, it's another video of some stupid website (in this case, Crazy-Toolbar.com) uploading unauthorised software onto end-users PCs. Direct Revenue, 180 Solutions, Bullseye networks, UCMore and all the rest of the gang are there.

And here's another one, just for keeps - full writeup here. Crazy-toolbar.com don't seem to be playing the game here, so bearing in mind that I know the guys from some of the companies mentioned above read this site, could you do me a favour and go can their ass for me? Especially as an unauthorised install of software doesn't sit too well with 180 Solutions' latest effort to spread the good word.

Thanks. If you need me, I'll be in the garden.
