Pando Media Booster Warning

Just a heads up.. If you've played MMO's in the past, such as Lord of the Rings online, then there is a chance you'll have Pando Media Booster installed on your computer.

It was used by NCSoft and some other MMO Game companies to patch their games in a download and forget style.

However, in August 2013 Pando shut down.

Recently, Pando Media Booster (PMB.exe) that is still installed on peoples computers has been informing them of an update to the program. DO NOT Download this update. It will install the "Sweet Page browser hijacker virus". 

Make sure you remove Pando from your computer in your control panel as it is no longer used by any MMO's to download patches.

Good to hear, but I'm certain I have heard something with Pando a while back. Not sure if it was in the forums or not.
