Hope you never get bitten with a false positive. Malwarebytes has had two really bad ones that killed Windows. That setting to Automatically quarantine detected malware is really stupid and will bite you in the ass someday. The trouble is that people install any program before they know what the **** they are doing. Install a registry cleaner ( not Ccleaner) and let it do it's thing. Then come here and bitch about something that doesn't work. KenW |

All these people who proudly state they've never gotten an infection without using any security software are either unaware of how lucky they're been or are lying. Or perhaps are unaware of what infection(s) they've gotten. |

Also ken i know many others who have gone years with out any malware or
viruses on his or her systems. its called being a smart user . don't do stupid things or click on links in spam emails or go to sites you don't know about or aren't sure about. it's called COMMON SENSE but to days got to be in constant contact generation doesn't care about being smart they just want instant gradafaction and does take the time to get a good av program and malware program on the system. I see systems all the time that come in to my store with no av or malware programs on it and the ones that you have to PAY for are long since expired. BECAUSE the to day generation wants it for FREE I have to (PAY) I can get this or that for free I hear it daily. my motto is you get what you pay for free stuff is free for a reason for those to cheap to pay for a good program. -- AL'S COMPUTERS "Ken Blake, MVP" wrote in message ...

The program it self works very nicely if you have the real time scanning
turned on with all the options checked and know how to add the now and then false positive to the ignore in future scans list. like any program you have to tweak it and once its dialed in it works very well. it gets recommended monthly in many pc magazines and is installed as the free version on all systems I sell build and service with the clients option to remove it if not wanted. -- AL'S COMPUTERS "mechanic" wrote in message ...

That is a crock i know many uses who run more then one you just don't run
them at the same time shows how little experience you have read my signature I have been a A++ tech for 25 years and build sell service and consult for computers owners and buyers. I have done many things the idiot techs you see at geek squad ect say you cant do this or cant do that. Just like back in the day when my self and 200 others were beta testing road runner high speed online for time warner cable, we wrote the book on it in the state of Maine. and a tech said you cannot have 2 or 3 browsers on you're system and have each set up to use a different ISP for each one . I had one set to use road runner and the other to use my dial up back up ISP. I said get a cup of coffee and ill show you how its done. I then became the head tech for the team and got many awards for the stuff i taught them that the time warner techs said you cant do this its not in our books. Knowledge is power Lean it use it You are only supposed to run one AV program on your computer -- AL'S COMPUTERS "Ron" wrote in message ...
