Twice in two days I played on Pogo, in two games, on just today, I was in a situation where my clock was counting down but erratically and I could not move. One game I lost on time because of it. Today, the same thing happened except the other guy seemed to make two moves in a row and ended up forking two rooks, I could not see all the pieces and my board showed him to have at one point, 4 rooks. In the earlier incident, after I closed down pogo, I found a new program downloaded, Aim6. Anyone have any idea what that is?
Today, I found something called Fraud fix downloaded through no action of my own. Anyone know about this crap?

Pogo has never installed any crap on my computer, but the advertisements do annoy me. They reload every once in a while which lags the game. Many bullet games there are lost due to this. They don't load themselves until a game starts too, which I don't understand.

built in firewall from router, use AVG for anti-virus, ran trojan hunter and it came out clean. Both programs had uninstall links which presumably worked. They had to come from pogo, thats the site I was on both times this stuff came in. Anyone know what AIM6 or Fraudfix is about? Aim6 says go to its website but for some reason I don't trust it.
