My machine picked up a nasty trojan which done the normal things these exploits do (opened windows, redirecting URL`s and machine was painfully slow). So I run the several clean-up programs on my machine (AVG, Lavasoft and the new Microsoft anti-spyware program that is in beta still).

Running these three normally do the trick and they all find different things so it is essential doing it however once this was done I noticed something called Wareout sitting on my desktop which I had no idea what it was. I rebooted the machine and the program was still their and it launched during start-up and found all sorts of spyware, adware and other crap.

I`m thinking to myself...this program looks powerful finding all this stuff but I guessed something was amiss so Googled the URL and it transpires that Wareout is another trojan masquerading as a virus / dialer remover type program that automatically installs itself in the program files.

Fuckers...
