With that said, I will typically go with a nice fresh OS install whenever I feel I am bogged down, especially by bad code. You just can’t beat the performance gains you see with a clean install.

The elimination of noise (from Stephen’s issue) may be an example of the software’s automatic blocking/deleting of anything it does not understand. Also, just because it does not have the tools that Spybot does, it does not mean that the file in question is an example of malware or otherwise harmful in any way.

TWICE, I had set up my browser with an audio stream, and my Audio Recorder Pro set on auto record, to record a show which comes on when I have to be at work, and TWICE, the stinkin’ “malware BITES” crapped out, taking out the sound, and I’m left with an mp3 file WITH NO SOUND!!! which I don’t find out about until I get home HALF AN HOUR AFTER THE SHOW IS OVER!!!

I can’t even uninstall this crap, because when I go to the Start button, and into Programs, and into “Malware”, the stinkin’ folder is EMPTY.

Now, I have to pay $15 to purchase a copy of the program that was aired from someone else–when I could have had my own copy for free.

What a COLOSSAL WASTE!! Well, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for!!!

The antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy is one of the best scanners I’ve found so far to help me clean out those nasty little bugs that slows down my computer and causes it to freeze up or crash. It keeps my computer running like new and best of all it cost less than many of the other better known scanners that have been available for awhile now. I was glad that I finally found a scan that works and that’s so affordable. Search-and-destroy is the best scanner I’ve used so far and you can find out more information by simply visiting http://www.search-and-destroy

A wonderful tool. Got rid of the wretched ‘Anti-virus 2008XP’ and found lots more nasty stuff beside. I also run SuperAntiSpyware. Between them the seem to sort everything. Wonderful!
