Nowhere near a n00b, I've been working with computers as long as I've been able to clutch a mouse (or crumple my mom's punch cards while she worked at NASA). I'm currently employed by a defense contractor as a Lead PC Support tech, but spent many years with a certain retailer, gaining XP in virus eradication, wireless network setup/troubleshooting, and Belittling Comment dodging.

But sadly, there's plenty of people who don't know the difference, and pay for it. I've even had people break out into tears when they realize they paid for their actual problem.
As for removing it, I've found that MalwareBytes does a darn good job at removing just about every trace of any of the titles I've run into. After that, use your favorite flavor of AntiSpyware to remove any lingering traces.
