Has anyone else noticed any Malware installed on their machines after signing up for the "Chatwing" text pox on the side of the homepage? I've had several things installed, today after registering for that site. - My PC BackUp
- Great Arcades
- Reg Pro registry cleaner
- Desktop Weather alerts
- Advanced System PRotector
I can trace it pretty much to that event as I've been out of town and this PC has not been used for over a week, and the time frame of their install was right after I registered with that.
Anyhow, let me know if others have experienced similar, and you may want to be on the look out for any weird things.

Yes, I don't think the "chat wing" is where it originated. After going through the process of removing, I found some older files, and then recall some other weird stuff happening.
It just all blew up there the other day.
Hope I didn't cause any undue concern.
