Computer experts: CPVFEED pop-ups?
Anyone have any luck removing this POS from their computers? Got it sometime this morning, and nothing has worked so far. I did some minor registry work(core.sys and core.cache.dsk removal(solution from internet)), Ad-Aware, Spybot, all to no avail. Am now doing an online virus checker from Kaspersky.com, still running at this time. This also infected one of our computers at work recently. Anyone have any suggestions?

Most people just install spybot and never update or immunize it..
Make sure you hit the immunize button on the left and make sure you have 2 green check marks to say you are protected...

You have to be careful what you're downloading, I've come across a lot of 'download' pages, while trying to find a specific program and a lot of the 'Download' links aren't even for the program I was looking for. Caveat emptor.
I run Spybot Search and Destroy, Spyware Guard and BHO Demon; no antivirus.
As far as sites go, majorgeeks.com is pretty reliable and don't seem to jerk around with spam and crap.
