Here is what Virtual Bouncer and ALL OTHER SPYWARE DISTRIBUTERS should do. 1. Don't install crap without your EXPLICIT PERMISSION. If they do install it without your permission they should PAY for a portion of your Electric bill and your Internet connection fee. IS IT THEIR PC TO BE PLAYING WITH? 2. Why provide me with yet another program that I have to install on my machine. I would not need it if you didn't give me a drive-by download to begin with (Installing CRAP that I didn't want in the first place). 3. Go directly to HELL, DO NOT PASS GO. By the way, programs like adaware and spybot S & D dont prevent programs like Virtual Bouncer, Xupiter.com and other VERMIN from installing on your PC. They only remove it after these scumbags install it on your PC. Write your Senators and tell them of their treachory. I have written several Senators on several occassions. NOTHING will be done UNLESS we all stand up to this CRAP.

I am not sure but I am trying this method to keep Virtual Bouncer and Xupiter.com and etc off... Goto internet options and and select the restricted Zone. it is now highlighted and the sites button is on. Click default this will diable eveything for the restricted zone.you can see this by clicking custom and viewing the settings dont change them... Anyway click the sites button and add all know sites they report too and originate from. this will surely make it harder for them to get on your system.... Like, add http://www.Xuoiter.com In the restricted Zone...

This is a disgusting piece of spyware and is effectively demanding money with menaces. It IS illegal, because when you are asked whether you want to install Virtual Bouncer and you say NO - it installs anyway! If you look at "Support" on www.spywarelabs.com website, they cynically state that you have three choices: 1. Search your computer, find the security problem and fix it (or ask someone you know to do this for you as a favor or for a fee) 2. Register your copy of Virtual Bouncer, have it fix the problem and let it automatically fix problems it finds in the future 3. Remove Vitual (sic - their typo!) Bouncer from your computer without finding the security problem My fiancee in America got this extortionware on her computer and was in tears after over 6 hours trying to remove it. In the process, she had used control panel to Add/Delete software - to no avail! On phoning MSN, while waiting for an adviser, she found that Windows ME has restore points (like Windows XP) and got her computer back to a stable June version. The people who run this crap company have e-mail addresses whom you might all like to contact, but they give no physical address or telephone number! A sign of something underhand going on. I have asked them to provide a physical location and phone number. I await with bated breath for their reply! ;o) The adviser from MSN said that they would probably be impossible to trace! So - if you see that pop-up box, do NOT tick the NO button! My fiancee was getting ready to throw her computer in the trash as it was locking up when pop-ups appeared (strange that they were much less frequent before Virtual Bouncer arrived), and she was unable to get her e-mail and had to keep closing and reopening her MSN account. Not being a techie, she felt very alone and desperate and I had to phone from England to reassure her that all would be well! I am glad that there is SpyBotSD available to remove this trashy software, but I think efforts should be made to track down and summons these people. I am trying a traceroute on the URL, but I know they can hide their location. What is the betting that they have? WhoIS software tells me that there is no match on the Internic database for www.spywarelabs.com Their ISP is 64.49.219.20 by the way and after sending 25 of 40 information packets TraceRoute lost them at v1903.aggr3.rackspace.com This is a hosting service, so perhaps we should be complaining to www.rackspace.com?

Virtual Bouncer is criminal. The criminals responsible for it should be tried in a court of law. To think that companies (?) can get away with installing garbage on our PCs without our permission and cause them to crash continually is evil and it is amazing to me that this would bet tolerated. I have attempted obtaining their telephone number and address and it is not given. Virtual Bouncer is a criminal lot and should be dealt with accordingly.
