Have also used Ad-Aware & CA Anti virus all without any problems. Not so with McAfee, Norton and Symantec. Although Partrition Magic (now unfortunately bought out by Symantec is a brilliant and amazing programme for partitioning your disk thus safeguarding and minimizing reboots of everything you have. Try it. Valentine. Use SPYBOT it,s a dream and quick. Have also used Ad-Aware & CA Anti virus all without any problems. Not so with McAfee, Norton and Symantec.

It just rips out what it finds, instead of telling you what it finds and allowing you to choose what to remove. RogueRemover is not very good, in my honest opinion.

Boy how right you are, I won't touch them. McAfee was my first, they sent me sheets of instruction, and patches, I got some good instructions on how to run 'regedit'. They, it appears wanted me to change the workings of my pc so their software would work. Norton and Symantic ( did Norton change its name?) were very 'clunky'. In fact one of them acted like a giant virus and I was told my disk was full, I believe it was the virus software as it was starting to act up strangely, in fact I lost control of it. I have been using "Vet/CA since then never been whacked never a problem, it's fast and not at all 'clunky'. Regards, Mike I read your note article 'McAfee, Symantic, and Norton'.
