Thanks for sharing the information. However, this is a common problem with most people. It's not really anything new
I myself sometimes use p2p softwares like Limewire to download stuff. Sometimes the files I get from peers contain adwares and stuff like that. Once I was trying to download a crack of a game and instead of the crack I downloaded almost 1000 adwares !! This I know because I immediately scanned my system with Spyware Doctor that showed me the results.
