Default Computer Troubles Imesh

Just witnessed 2 plus days of agony as my wife tried to "clean" her computer of the "iMesh" program our 15 year old son installed. It allowed a bunch of spyware stuff on her hard drive. She was unable to stop all the pop-ups when on the web plus it would redirect her browser to a specific web page. Many, many hours to totally correct. Fix complete, son still alive.
Anyone else get into this kind of computer mess?

I use a program called Spybot to clean the popups, spyware and other alien ware off my computer. Do a Google search for Spybot to find the program and you may find that you've got all sorts of things you didn't want on the system. Spybot gives you a description of each item, lets you choose which to remove and has a removal feature.
