  "This is a virus itself!"

  July 4, 2012  |   By sgfdj

  Pros

  Free, great for 11 year old MySpace addicted girls.

  Cons

  I was tricked into installing it with other software. It has installed a toolbar in all my browsers that I cannot get rid of that clutters the interface with ads, useless MySpace smileys, and horrible glittery animated cursors, and hijacks my search providers, runs a process on my computer that wastes memory and CPU that I can not end, and it cannot detect even the most obvious viruses.

  Summary

  This software is a virus itself. Their advertising is hypocritical, it does not prevent viruses but installs adware on your computer. Wasted hours trying to remove it.

  OUT DAMM SPOT Can you tell me how you got rid of it? I have inadvertenly loaded AVG and Norton and can't delete them. I've tried control panel- programs a dozen times and they are still there. I;ll dance at your wedding.
