My PestTrap is weird. It has no processes like "Pesttrap.exe". Instead, there are obscure filenames like "83310.exe". I just deleted those and winstall from the harddrisk. It sucks.

I got pest trap and yes was stupid enough to buy it. Microsoft security help live person was extremely helpful. They found it in all of the registeries and helped me download spybot for free and I used microsofts windows live one care. So far so good and yes I got my background back. Next I am disputing the charge through my credit card.

I ran spyware doctor and thought pest trap was gone. next day, my desktop background pix was gone and I cannot access it anymore - anyone heard of this problem? Is pest trap still on my computer?

I recently just bought the full version of Pest Trap because my computer was telling me that I had spyware on my computer that could be searching for my private information and communicating it with the internet. Should I uninstall pest trap now that I bought the full version?

SpyBot found it on my system.

To all those who wonder how this got on your PC
Ask yourself - are you logged on with Adminstrator priveledges? if so, that is your problem. In today's Internet world, it is safer to run a PC as a limited user with no Antivirus/spyware that as admin with those tools. Best is limited user (non-admin) and the tools. Don't believe me, here's a MS programmer saying the same thing

I too fell into the Pest Trap scam. The Spyware Doctor removed it as well as the other 803 infections that I incurred do to my stuipidity of purchising Pest Trap. The other one is called Spy Trooper, it too is like Pest trap, hence be careful.

Here's another version of this stupid thing... I wrote a nasty letter to PestTrap and they sent me an email trying to get me to download SPYTROOPER from the SpySherriff website.
What a bunch of a$$h@les....

I got infected today by pest trap and looked it up on google to see what it was...bad virus! I downloaded this spy ware and it took it off immediately! Thanks so much! Worth the money!
