It's useless, I want a refund and thanks for that-it's currently scanning and found four 'severe' threats already that the other pile of crud didn't notice- <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marianne 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 OOOOOOOOOOP's sorry but i forgottted to added soemthing in the last message . If you are using the SDPYBOY thingie , make sure you use it at leasty once a day for about a week or so to make sure you gotted rid of the spy stuffs . I use it every day anyway but you don't absolutly have to . You can also inunize again stuffs the were detected in the past so they don't infect lateron but youSTILL need to scan regularly .

Bear Face 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 Thanks for the info MJ. I use SpyBot and Google Toolbar Pop-up blocker (similar to Yahoo!). I also run Ad-Aware SE. I use it along with SpyBot to cover all my bases. It can also be found for free at Download.com. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
