WTF is Power Scan & Purity Scan


can i delete dat out of my computer bcuz it gets on my nerves every time i log in those 2 things pop up and stays dere

or do i have to keep it

either its a virus skanner, or its ad ware- wait till someone else responds cause im not sure

Do they come up when you turn the PC on ??

If they do go to start then run and type MSCONFIG then go to startup and untick the shit you dont want to start up.

Restart your PC and see if it still happens.

Purity scan is major major major spyware. It claims to remove porn and other tasteless material from your box but really its spyware.

i deleted dat shit

Use spy bot destroy and ad aware to scan your computer.

ok which is better?

lavasoft adware professional 6 latest refrence

or spy bot?

I perfer spybot but adware is good too . I ran both together just to see which one i liked better. Funny thing Adware flagged Spybot as spyware.

Which Spybot says when you install it, if you paid attention to the installation

Duh I was being funny If you read the post Im running spybot

Your not removing spyware with spyware, spybot has dummy spyware files.

i run em both and no probs
adaware just detects sh*t in spybots quarantine :)

You definately need to scan your comp for spyware. I would use either Ad-adware or Spy Sweeper. Ad-aware is free and pretty "on-the-ball" with the latest spyware threats. I find that Spy Sweeper has more spyware definitions most of the time, but I wouldn't use the trial version. I would only use the full version because the trial version are old versions that aren't capable of getting the ALL the latest definitions

Use ad-aware with ad-watch and spybot with immunize and spy sweeper with it's spyware killer.

Spybot is detected with spyware because spybot quaratines the spyware so ad-aware will detect the spyware. (Quaratine= Moved to safe location and unable to cause harm). Spybot is not dangerous at all, just don't remove the spyware it quarintines and exclude the folder spybot quartines files into.

ad-aware fuked my internet up i installed it and scaned my computer then deleted everything and then i turn off my computer and turned it on the next day and i waited 30 mins and still couldnt get my adapter 2 catch signal and the problem was that Ad-Aware deleted a registry key dat i needed 2 get signal

THIS SITE has some interesting downloads (for free) that might prevent that or at least improve your internet connection.
