This nifty program saves me three to four hours a day. I don't have to wade my way through all the junk in my box. It has also prevented a countless number of viruses from even getting to my computer...eliminating them before even before my virus software could! |

Anti-virus programs don't stop adware or malware. It is VITAL that you take responsibility for understanding not only your own regular computer maintenance, but understand how to protect your machine from outside intruders. The above article mentions iSearch. In my case, some of the main problems showed up in the form of popularscreensavers.com, zestyfind.com, look2me.com and mywebsearch.com. Without my permission or invitation, these programs were downloaded behind the scenes and took over my browser, and changed my screensaver as well as closing programs and preventing others from being downloaded to clean up the mess. I am not a computer technician. I create web pages and draw cartoons. If the information I share next is a bit overwhelming, you may want to spend the money and call in a professional.
