This is what I wrote to Vista antivirus 2008:
I did not order Vista  Antivirus 2008.  It is not activated and I do not want 
it activated.   However, it is on my desktop all the time and I don't know 
how to remove  it.  I have gone to add/remove programs -- it's not listed there 
because  I've never added it.  There is nowhere that I can see that I can 
remove it.  It is very annoying.  Please help.

This is the response I received:
Dear  xxxxxxxxxxx,

This is not our fault that our product is being installed on  your PC over 
and over again.
We work with hundreds of affiliated advertisers.  This is possible that one of
them uses illegal methods of advertising. We  would appreciate your help in 
finding the
criminal.

We applogize for  these actions of our advertisers.
Try our free 3 day activation to use our  product to remove the viruses
from your PC. This is free of all charges and  does not require
credit card or any other info.

Here is a free  activation code for you: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(removed by me)
- Refer to the  settings section and select as much options as you wish, you 
can track
your protection level in the bottom right corner of the window.
- Refer to  the scan and remove section. Click Start Scan to perform a full 
system  scan.
When finished, click Remove found threats. Known spyware viruses  will be 
removed.

If you are unsatisfied, you may remove the program from  add/remove programs 
now.

We need your cooperation.
Please provide us  with the full story of your infection
including websites you have visited,  programs downloaded etc.
This will help us finding out advertiser  id.
