Why do these even exist?

Why do Nigerian princes even bother trying to send me money?!

(Of course, I know why these exist, because there are dumb people. But you know what? I want to know why all this dishonest bullshit preventing the human race at large from becoming something decent and worthwhile exists. I want to know why people have to be so fucking greedy and stupidly full of themselves to come up with this shit and say "Hey, it's a living.". I want to know why these assholes don't get shot for preying on the weak-minded. They don't deserve the money any more than the dumbasses who fall for that shit!)

Do they actually give you a virus or does it just say it does? After it popped up I ran like 3.5 virus scans and nothing came up. But now I'm not sure.

If you have another computer the best thing to do is go and look up whichever one it is you have. You'll be able to find instructions on how to get rid of it, it tells you which processes to kill and which registry entries and files to delete.

If you decided to do this, I can't stress this enough.
Follow all of the instructions EXACTLY as they are written.
If you miss one step you risk it coming back, and if delete the wrong registry keys you can mess your computer up and have to do a system restore or reinstall your OS.

The guy I mentioned in my earlier post decided he didn't want to pay me the third time he infected his computer with this crap and asked me for the instructions and I told him the same thing, follow the instructions word for word, he failed and had to bring his computer to me again, this time to back up all of his stuff and do a system restore.
