-=PCTechTalk=- Re: The final word on Confickr/Downadup/Kido including removal instructions

I just ran the scan.  Took a little figuring out as I needed the plug in. 
Got it and the scan did not take very long--maybe a minute or two.
It asked two files to be uploaded, one was Secunia.  It came back clean with 
no infection found.
