Bargains.exe

Bargains.exe is a direct breach of privacy and internet users should be aware of this. Whenever you get pop-ups on advertisments, you can be sure that there is one or more spywares already in your harddisk (usually within c:\ ).

Yahoo.com and Geocities.com websites are one of the many websites that, when visited, triggers the download of "bargains.exe" and all its related files WITHOUT your knowledge.

I would advise those who are spywares-phobe to stay away from those two websites. Whatever you do and wherever websites (new) you visited, do check for running processes in the Task Manager, (Ctrl+Alt+Del) to open. There will be recurrences even after successul removal of such wares especially when you revist the site where you got the ware AND you're not protected by firewall (ZoneAlarm is effective to some extent).

Bargains.exe is highly annoying.
