It sounds like an attempt to "jack" your daughter's financial details in order to drain her finances dry. You know, youngsters are always downloading things or going to web sites that miscreants (aka criminals) plant things on to either turn your PC into a DOS (Denial of Service) bot (to blackmail online companies) or capture your financial details.
Ask your daughter to get the following free anti ad and spyware software in order to clean this rubbish off her PC.
1) Ad-Aware SE available from Lavasoft.com
2) SpyBot available from http://spybot.safer-networking.de/en/home/index.html
3) MS AntiSpyware available from Microsoft.com
After downloading, getting the latest definitions and running these apps her machine should then be clean.

PS. It would also help if she ran her anti-virus app as well. |
