tinybar parasite message. Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

When i log on to poly from home, i get a message that my PC is infected with the above parasite and instructions for deleting it. My home PC has been slow of late. I just want to confirm that this message is genuine (yet another service from Poly) and not itself a virus of some kind before i do as it says. Anyone know more?

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

There was another thread about this a month or so ago...

The short answer is yes, the message is genuine. It's a service that's helped me in the past.

Using ad-aware or spybot search-and-destroy might also catch the little bugger, if you don't feel like following the removal instructions.

Well, yes, if you look at that thread joncha referenced that was me asking the question two months ago.

and I still have a problem.

I have tried to use every adware/spyware removal program and it's completely hopeless. I can't extract whatever crap got downloaded without my permission.

I will credit Apolyton for alerting me that I had a problem in the first place.
