If you're getting an annoying pop-up on your Blogger or other Google sites, with a blurb about your "gwt.xml module" it isn't your gwt.xml module, because you haven't got one. It's a Google problem that they say they are fixing, but talk's cheap, and nothing's been happening yet to get rid of it. The work-around seems to be to switch to another browser, from Internet Explorer. Microsoft doesn't have any remedy for this, because they say it isn't their problem, and I believe them. Google is famous for starting something, and then stopping for coffee or lunch, and never coming back to it. And we're showering the bastards with nothing but money! Are we stupid, or what?
And if you're discovering some hard-to-remove adware called OpenCandy, it's an adware distributing bloatware frequently packaged with other freebie programs that you might really want, such as ImgBurn, that formerly-great burning freeware that many of us have liked until now. If you read the fine print in the agreement you have to accept, you'll see that there's no way you can avoid accepting OpenCandy if you want the program. And to get rid of it, you need something like SuperAntiSpyware or Malwarebytes Chameleon to find it and remove it. Trying to use the "custom install" feature for the freebie program will not help, because it doesn't show as an option you can remove. And it's definitely something you don't want, because it is spreading your information to others you don't know about and shouldn't be sharing with.
