Greetings Michelle,
In a word A-Squared This link is not an affilate link.
You can download this program for 1 month free. Then $19.95 a year. Updates everyday, sometimes 2 and 3 times a day and can automatically download to your computer.
It finds things that are not normally recognized as trash from the Internet or virus loaded programs. It finds adware, spyware, malware, viruses and so on. It can show you what program is hijacking your computer when booting and it points you right to the exact spot on your hard drive it is residing. Then it shows you how to get rid of them.
Here are the current signatures A-Squared has found.
Number of Signatures:
Trojans 229028
Dialer 39700
Worms 66703
Spyware 9785
Traces 61178
BTW the Alexa toolbar is notorious for sending adware into your computer. I learned that the hard way. The very first time I ran the A-Squared it found 155 infected files on my computer. Not just from Alexa but other sources as well. It irradicated every one of them.
Upon rebooting my computer A-Squared detected a bot program, I don't know where it came from or what it does, but it was hijacking a couple of my programs. A-Squared got rid of it.
I don't mean to be a spokesperson for the company, but ever since 1993 when I first got on the computer, I have never found a product, well maybe Panda, that really digs down into your computer and registry files and cleans things up. My computer runs faster and smoother and NONE of my programs acts weird any longer.
Norton and McCaffee, to quote MC Hammer, "Can't Touch This"
Thanks for listening

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so. We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials. By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example.

If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board. In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
