An important message from "Webcam Jen"

I woke up this morning to find a "message box" on my desktop from "webcam Jen". I have no idea how this got onto my computer and want to get rid of - and seriously bitch at the company that put in on my computer without my permission.

The site's url is http://www.webcamjen.com/ .

This worries me. Spam is one thing, but this company has seriously invaded my privacy. Imagine waking up one morning and finding dozens of "message boxes" on your computer.

Anyone have any ideas?

You probably didn't disable Messenger (not to be confused with Messenger the IM messager).

Yeah, that might have been the problem. I feel better knowing it's a feature of Windows that I didn't know about instead of something "they" installed on my computer.

Here's a screen shot of the box that popped up. It came up on my other computer also.

Once those bastards get your IP they'll send out 20 or so a day sometimes if you don't disable. The stupid fuck that was hitting me had the url to buy traffic from him at the bottom.
