Talking Clever Bastards

As I have mentioned in previous threads, I have a problem with a shitty little ad trojan that I cannot find and kill. It pops up ads all the fucking time. Just now I posted a thread headed "Google Toolbar", as soon as I posted it I got a pop up window that looked like it may have been produced by this board that said:
Quote:
Hi, my name is Lara Grace and we have selected you to participate in a 30 second survey about Greenguysboard.com google toolbar. Please tell me about your Greenguysboard.com google toolbar usage and in exchange we will give you a nice gift =)
There then followed four questions of the type:
Quote:
How often do you use Greenguysboard.com google toolbar?
Then finally you got to a page saying:
Quote:
Thank you for completing the survey!
I have selected the following gifts which you can have. Please choose up to (3) gifts for completing my survey!
All the gifts were basically adverts.

I realised immediately that this was a fake survey, but if it had popped up from one of the sites I use that sometimes run customer surveys, or from a site that might do so, then I would probably have been fooled!
