I started getting bombarded by popups about two days ago...

...so I went to http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/ to see what might be detected on my system. Turns out that there was this evil little thing inside my computer called "Transponder." I ran AdAware and went back to doxdesk to see if it got rid of the beastie. But it didn't, so I had to remove it manually, using doxdesk's removal instructions. And now, no more popups!

Yippee! :party:
