My brothers were once a little naive with what the downloaded.
And we got clutted with Adware, Spyware, anythingelseware, the lot. :-)
I tried to get rid of most of it through using "add/remove programs!" but it seemed that didn't do it alone.
So I tried adaware.
A quick download and a mini-scan and it detects a whole load of nasties on my computer. Some of the names being VERY familiar, having shown off their websites before when I'd least expect it.
Then came the crunch.
"To continue, you must register."
Click the link.
$30?
A fair price for software, but not one I was really prepared to pay. I thought "forget. my PC is a little slow but I can live like that...".
So I clicked the cancel button.
A box came up:
"WAIT! You have qualified for a special offer! Just $20!!"
Still didn't want to. Cancel.
"Oh go on! You'll protect you machine in so many ways!"
Not interested. Cancel.
"Okay, so you don't want to pay. So try it free for a little - you'll be limited to just one scan per month but you'll get our lovely toolbar to prevent more problems! And we're sure you'll love us so much you'll want to pay us in the end!"
Okay, but I'm making no promises about coughing up now! ;-P
So I get it free. :-)
Slightly pushy marketing, but it is a good cause, giving everyone atleast a limited tool against these stupidd hacking pests! :-)
