    doing scan and its saying 27 infected items so far and yet my others never came up with this

    That's because it's a great product and also free.

    Also spyware is best kept in check by using a multi-pronged strategy i.e.using several products with different modes of action.

    It seems to be THE program to use to get rid of nasties, certainly for the time being.
    Move along, nothing to see.

    Removed Selected? Re-booted?

    Let have a look at what you have installed on your PC.

    Go to this website, read the Quick Start Guide and produce a Log for reproduction here.
