| Class members' biggest complaint is that they never signed up for a
| free trial of popcorn.net and have no idea how their computers became
| infected with it. To add to users' frustrations, popcorn.net cannot be
| removed using Microsoft's Windows Add/Remove Programs or by programs such
| as Symantec's Norton Anti-virus or AOL's Security Suite. Fortunately,
| some anti-spyware programs are able to remove it.
