[PLUG-TALK] PIA-daemon

[John Jason Jordan]

I started using Private Internet Access a couple years ago, but then I
discontinued the service about a year ago. Or I thought I did. Today I
discovered pia-daemon is still running. I tried to kill it, which
succeeded, but as soon as it died a new pia-daemon was spawned, with a
new PID number. Furthermore, I keep getting robo-spam from them
exhorting me not to miss out on their latest deals that are too good to
be true.

I had to kill it from the command line because it required root. But
apparently even root can't get rid of it. Does anyone have any
suggestions for how to make it disappear?
