I don't think I will respond to Symantec marketing.

Where on that page is there any Symantec marketing?
There is a link to a removal tool by Symantec as there is a link to a
similar tool by McAfee and a few others. I used the McAfee tool because
I use their anti-virus and firewall programs but anyone can use any one
from what I read. Even if you are sure you haven't been infected as I
was, what is the harm in downloading and running one of those tools just
to be 100% sure. Perhaps you might get a few e-mail adverts from them,
so what.



Are you sure that page was genuine? All the links could be to install
Malware!
