Complaint:
A Better Internet / Direct Revenue / ABI Network is maliciously installing Adware / SpyWare on millions of PCs. Removal is virtually impossible without running their own removal tool, which I could not do when my PC was infected because "mypctuneup.com" was a broken link. Even when mypctuneup.com can be reached, it installs additional software without authorization. All told, this "business" has cost me approx. 12 hours of labor cleaning our computers. They use a miriad of websites to covertly infect PCs. Their software morphs with dynamically renaming executables, Registry hooks, etc.
