I had this 2 days ago and it really gives me the creeps!!
I've removed it and it was a pain in the butt!

The removal procedure can be found in my blog...

I've never been infected by this, though might I ask, what did you try to do to remove it in the first place? Sometimes there's the gold old nuke and reload type of fix, other times it's a good case of using the right cleaning program.

not me. What does it do?

As far as I know, WindowsClick is a browser hijacking virus that should also display advertisements.

Good thing I have UAC enabled. :biggrin:

Is it a trick download, or a virus, or a combination of the two?

It can be a combination of either a drive-by via iFrame/Ad download or it can be packaged into a download.
