    What does the rating mean?
    Rating: 
    I don't know where I picked up this 'bug', but every 5 minutes it pops up a message saying my computer is making unauthorized copies of my system and internet files, and asks if I want to download AV System Care spyware removal software. Does anyone know how to remove this? I'd really appreciate some help. roarkalum@hotmail.com
