Subject: Re: spyware
I am help to most people it seems, I've been around and played the
spyware
removal game a time to 2, I just put the warnings out there so some one
with
no computer knowledge at all doesn't see the info on these lists and try
to
play fix it because then they'll come back, if they can, and blame me so
I
make sure I put enough warnings out there in my messages like that to
scare
those people off because that can happen with a program like high jack
this
and I do know people who've done it. in fact, I have a computer to try
to
fix this week with a few problems related to spy, probably a couple
other
things too, but that's the main problem.
