Never heard of it. If that just came up and your friend has absolutely no clue what N-CASE is, then type Ctrl+Alt+Del to get to the Task Manager and select End Task. You never know what the buttons or even "remind me later" do if it's a malicious program - but probably not what they say they do!

n-Case is an adware bundle. Spyware/aware stompers can usually handle it, or it can be manually removed.
You might also check out and research from my Malware, virus, and startup information and tools page.

he tried to download spybot S&D from 3 locations but everytime it wanted to run the microsoft word cd, so im about to send him the installer right through aim cuz i have it.
new development though haha, this just came up on his comp, VerifierBug. should he delete it? or this another job for spyware S&D? he tried to clean it, it said no file found, he tried to quarrentine it, no file found, he didnt try to delete it yet incase its needed.

I think what Joe is trying to say is as follows:
He went through the removal steps... but after that, he got another pop up or two trying to "trick" him into clicking yes to install more adware, etc. If you are still getting those messages and install requests after a full adaware scan, you may have more spyware etc that has gone unnoticed. That unnoticed program is set up to bring more adware on to your system eventually. You have to rid yourself of it as well.
Try installing another spyware remover and "double up" on the scans. Some spyware/adware removers catch things the others don't. I personally use the Adaware/SpyHunter combo and my system has been consistently clear of all that junk. Hope this helps, and sorry for butting in Joe. :)
