My son's new laptop, Inspiron 1505 has picked up the Antivermins alert in the taskbar and the popup balloon that will take you to antivermins.com to purchase their bogus spyware. He did not download anything from that site. I purchased SpyHunter (recommended by Wiki) over the weekend and it seems to find some Antivermins objects and delete them, but we cannot get rid of the alert. Any help would be appreciated. I just purchased the laptop for him for Christmas because he went back to school at ITT recently and AntiVermins :down: is a real pain and a concern security-wise.
