I keep getting emails with links on from the above site, with various offers from the like of Tesco, Morrisons, the banks and other stuff.

I have run a scan with MSE (which found nothing) and Malware bytes (which found 37 issues), after clearing them, I still get the odd one or two a day.

Have hag a look in the registry and installed programs but cant find anything.

any ideas?


thanks in advance

It probably just means a spammer has your email address. Doesn't need anything on your machine.

I'm not surprised you've had trouble with your emails.... what with being full of carp and all ;) :D

This man thought his inbox was full - until he discovered this and removed it - now its fine ...
