Installed a new free spy ware program called SpyWareBlaster and I really like it

It doesn't actually run a scan like some of the others I have tried. It just runs in the background and doesn't let the spy ware function. Blocks the spy ware I think? Nice little program.

Had a trojan called brospy that none of the other spy ware programs I tried could remove it. They all found it but seemed unable to remove or block it.

Everything has been running smooth here since loading it this morning. No more frozen widows and everything including rebooting is much faster now. Got the program on CNet website.

Good luck.

Used to have pages and programs hanging up on me all the time. When I would turn the computer off I was getting 2 or 3 "Close Now?" prompts before it would turn off. And if I didn't hit the Yes button on the "Close Now?" prompt the computer wouldn't turn off.

If I didn't hang around when shutting the computer off an hour later it was still attempting to shut off.

All those problems have disappeared now. Everything seems faster and more stable now. Like a new computer.

Amazing little program.

Sure glad I found it.
