This thing got me. Can't delete it. Computer just keep acting up I'm surpised I'm online writing this. Did anyone get this and how did you get rid of it.

Just Google it...... Their are a number of sites on antivirus 360. I would look at CNET or Download.com for a Malware removal program.....

Malwarebytes
SuperAntiSpyware are a couple of good ones.

First one is shareware, meaning you can run it for a thirty day period; the second one is free, period.

start with malwarebytes Malwarebytes.org as Brian said, but it is not shareware, you can use it indefinetly for free, the paid version just adds real time monitoring.
Download, install, and update it before running a scan

I just cleaned this off a machine using Spybot. Boot into Safe Mode and run it. It should clean it up, if not Malwarebytes will.

I didn't even have to run iin safe mode to get it cleaned off with Spybot. I ran Malwarebytes anyway and then rebooted the machine,, but the nasty was gone.

I got rid of that evil thing using Spyware Doctor. Google it. There is a free download available that will do the trick. Good Luck!

I can't even get Malwarebytes to OPEN! Tried installing it twice,it refuses to open. I am trying to fix my mom's PC.... I'll try to install Spybot & see how it goes....

Yup, one of the side effects, it blocks the installation of much of the software that can remove it. I've had some luck renaming the download and then running it.
