The 5MOF Mini Player Is a Bad Program

I like trying out new programs that I find on the internet. Sometimes, though, that gets me into trouble. For instance, I found this program called 5MOF Mini Player. It looked like a nifty little media player program. Well, I got more than I bargained for. Once the download was complete, I started to get pop-up ads and my computer acted like it was having a seizure when I tried to run something. I knew I got adware from this.

It appeared that the free antispyware program I was trying out couldn’t fix it. No problem, I thought, I’ll get a different one. Because I got infected, I thought I should be serious about what I got this time. I heard about SpyZooka, so I gave it a spin. After that quick fix, I think I’ll just stick with this one.
