Spywarehelper.org, is this reputable/okay to use?

Winjackie

Further to my post about having "system security" scam on my computer and despite lots of very helpful and appreciated advice on how to get rid of it, I still have it on my computer. I have googled "system security" and have found this website which apparently can safely remove it. I am, however, a little wary about downloading programs to my computer now. Does anyone know if this one is okay???

why have you started another thread?

Its confusing enough as it is

did you follow Browntoas advice?

Winjackie

Yes, sorry for starting another one, I posted on the original one and probably didn't leave enough time for someone to respond. I was just trying to find out if the spyware....org would actually delete this security from my computer.

Just to clarify, I have run malwarebytes, superantispyware and hijack this and its still there.

Browntoa

I responded in the other thread telling you to try system restore

aliEnRIK

can you please do browntoas advice and continue in the original thread please?

I also posted for you to run SPYBOT

Also, so long as you removed the nasty stuff via hijack then you really should rerun ALL programs again

And no ~ I wouldnt touch the program you mention wth a bargepole


***PLEASE CONTINUE ON THE ORIGINAL THREAD***
