Advance System CARE by Iobit.com works wonders with malware removal, Registry cleaners.

Marco from Rocky's in Sosua recommended I use it, did and never had any more problems, at first
I was hesitant, but Marco said " whatever it says do it "
He knows his stuff!

I am now using Version 8.

lol,

mac user become something similar to roman gods.........in as much as they look down on the pc users with their viruses and compatability issues.........mac users offer the best advice, which is to 'get a mac' , and other gods let out a little sigh, a nod of agreement, knowledge of a higher life.........a life without sickness, a life where all facets can be integrated.......the gods know................they just know.

Well, you do it your way... But as someone who works for I.T. in a gov, If my machine was riddled with spyware, I'd be wiping it to KNOW its now clean, especially if you EVER did any kind of financial transactions on your PC.

And FYI - MAC enthusiasts, they get hit also, judge the info from here as you will:

money IS an issue, not the COST of an item, but the fact that we use money in the first place, therefore giving some items a higher monetary value, and thus depriving some people of a quality of life which only the gods can enjoy.........

LOL, I have yet to read a post that said, spend twice as much and get a MAC.

Think how much money and lost time PC users spend fixing malware and virus issues.

If you do the numbers, you will see that the cost of ownership of a Mac is better than a comparable spec PC when you take into account lost time, frustration and re-sale value. Plus if you have AppleCare, you can take it into any Apple store on the planet, if they cannot fix it on the spot in store, they will replace it.

I own an Apple product, iPad

10+yrs I have been using Mac's and NEVER had a problem. I know hundreds of Mac users and I have yet to hear of anyone getting a virus or malware. Look at how many posts we have had on this board with PC users having issues, and we are not even a PC related website

When the construction is finished on my apartment in the Campo, I am going to be setting up 2 complete Mac systems.
When the children come to my home in Santiago, they use my computer all day and night, and when they are finished, I have to run all my Malware to eliminate tons of crap they picked up in the course of a days use.
Having Mac for them to use in the Campo will be a blessing for me.............

Run Linux, get no viruses and the operating system is free, both problems of price and virus are fixed ...

I've been having problems with Google Chrome/Windows 8 compatibility for quite some time.

Every time Windows goes through their update process it gets worse.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome and that's worked until now.

.

Not sure if it's related but have talked with two people who have had similar issues, turned out to be something called "Vosteran" that attached to Chrome toolbar

Most of the software I use will not run on Linux.
Most home users just want a stupid simple setup that works, that's not Linux, I know, I admin our Linux/Red Hat servers at DR1

Emulator within called WINE, runs windows apps, also, you can set up a dual boot, pick at startup which O/S you prefer, Linux for your surfing/nefarious pleasures, or Windows for those apps you "just can't seem to give up"

If you truly had any real time/exposure/usage with Linux, you'd know you can run Windows apps within it with WINE. I've been a Linux user for 15 years, started when Red Hat was about 4.0....
