PC scanners.
Recently there has been a number of adds on TV offering software which
will scan your PC for viruses, trojan horses, malware in general and registry errors. I scanned my Vista PC with one of these and it found 579 problems, most of which were registry problems. I was invited to fix these problems but at a cost. I did not do the fix. Are these apps free of danger when they fix the problems found by the scan? Do they work for XP/3 PCs? Many thanks, Peter.

That is simply a marketing ploy to rid you of your money. Avoid those
offers. "PVR" wrote in message ... Recently there has been a number of adds on TV offering software which will scan your PC for viruses, trojan horses, malware in general and registry errors.
