I think this site is useful for an desktop user however i think to improve you should attach a link where one might be able to find the proper software to remove such adware and spyware. not a program (spyhunter) that just detects it. If they are on this site they already are aware its there. I have multiple antivirus and antimalware programs and i run a scan every night and i never knew it was on my desktop until i went in to control panel and checked my programs list and didnt recognize it. Anywaysthis is good info, no doubt, thank you!!
