I'm not disputing what you're saying, Queensway boy but, just as a matter of interest, how do you know?

I'm currently running AVG, AdAware and Pop Up Stopper. Should I run Spybot as well or will it conflict with these?

Spybot wont conflict with the others and would be a good idea to also install and run. It could pick up bits missed by Adaware.

Some more info on freehistorycleaner.

Free History Cleaner claims to protect your privacy. Unfortunately, when testing the product 2003-11-19, it installed MapiSvc Adware and Winpup Adware without mentioning them in the EULA. Free History Cleaner's uninstaller did not work at all, when testing the 2.62 and 2.72 version of the software. The uninstaller in version 2.80 worked somewhat better but left behind fhccall.exe. fhccall.exe will continue to run on the system, starting each time a user logs on. The purpose of fhccall.exe is currently unknown, but the following URLS found inside the binary file indicated strongly indicates that it is an automatic updater of the software, downloading executables over the insecure http protocol, which can be a security risk.

The next quote is from the user agreement for this program.

"FREE HISTORY CLEANER permits you to download its proprietary software (the "Software") that enables you to: manage cookies, Delete history, etc. In consideration of which you expressly allow Free History Cleaner to redirect 404, DNS and other pages and show you advertisement windows from time to time." (The underlined bit is talking about spyware

If any of you have downloaded this program. Your best bet would be to uninstall it. There have been issues in the past with the uninstall not working fully. If you are having problems, try THIS page, it contains more info on this nasty, plus instructions for getting rid of it manually.

Yeah i agree with Queensway Boy, FreeHistoryCleaner harms your computer, you mainly see this website as a pop-up so people think ''oh i could do with clearing my history'' and by installing it you could have just let yourself in for spyware, adware, trojans, keyloggers, viruses and possibly much more. It may clean your history and it may look and work like a genuine program! Its the stuff you cant see whats the problem!
