Adware Away--- A Good Start
Fred - Just a simple testimonial for "Adware Away" to remedy very nasty variants of browser hijackers. I have spent hours not only searching for "geek" sites to get rid of a hijacker, but also additional hours with all kinds of potential solutions advanced by many experts. I went to the registry, I went to Windows Services, I went everywhere one might think to go....trying to figure out what the various "experts" were suggesting. But in less than 5 minutes after stumbling across "Adware Away" ( http://www.adwareaway.com ). I now have a fully restored start page, search page, and home page set once again to MY preference instead of some nasty adware forced-page. I would recommend it HIGHLY for those suffering from the absolute plague of many different kinds of hijackers. It really works and it's quite simple to use. It's free for as long as you need it and, of course, "purchasable" thereafter. Although I have solved my vexing hijacker issue, I will definitely register and forward them the purchase price, as I am forever grateful for such a wonderful and easy solution. Keep up your good work with the Newsletter and wizardry you are so well known for. ---Chris G. Echsner
Adware Away is a very good program for removing
malware. It does a nice job providing information about what it's going to do---
and what it has done once it's finished. It's also unique in that the company
claims it will provide a custom cleaner based on your logs if the generic
version doesn't do the trick. I do recommend, however, that you run anti-malware
tools from multiple vendors. Each of the better tools has its own strengths and
weaknesses, and they tend to overlap in terms of coverage and functionality.
It's best to combine tools to cover all potential vulnerabilities. Please see "5
Essential Steps To PC Security " here: (

Also, the current version of Adware Away, version 3.0, will identify problems
with the free trial version, but won't fix them unless you pay the $29.95
single-user fee or buy one of the other packages. That's a perfectly reasonable
requirement, but one that's different from some previous versions.
