media tickets

ok i've had it. it pops up randomly. this window. telling me to install 'media tickets' and says it won't affect my comp in any way - pish.

then there's this virus/worm that norton detects but avg doesn't..

w32.spybot.worm

it started appearing on the same day that i installed spybot.. which is meant to clear out adware and spyware. does it do that? can anyone give me a link to the official spybot dl?

and has anyone else gotten this sort of pop up windows? telling you to install their 'media tickets'?

The creator of Spybot Search & Destroy (full name) was an outfit at KOLLA.DE I see that their website currently is down. If you downloaded it from any other site, you may have had malware included in your download. If you are able to log-on to either PC World or PC Magazine's download sites, you MIGHT be able to effect a cleaner download.

@Kimk

Here are the download sites at PC World magazine and the one for the publisher of PC Magazine, Ziff-Davis.

Please note that if you really have a worm, Spybot is not the answer toy our problem, Norton or McAfee antivirus are the better answer.

PC World

PC Mag Publisher Site, - Ziff-Davis - ZD Net

Remember that AV scanners can often ID things such as Ad-Aware and SpyBot as malware, due to the capabilities of the programs in question to edit the registry, etc. I am not saying that this is the case in this particular scenario, but it's something to bear in mind.
