Most successful software

serach-and-destroy has been the only software to successfully detect blocks and removes spyware, adware, pop-ups. It is the only one which could defend my computer from hijackers. No other software could do it. It’s simply great.

These instructions do not address how to stop the annoying, bogus messages that try to get you to install the software. I had to remove a bunch of files names YURA*.exe from my system32 folder.

I just spent $89 for a three year subscription of this fake crap. Someone is thieving this money. How is this allowed to happen and why is this money trail not being tracked and how do I get my money back?

I removed it by running system restore to 2 days prior to infection, I had to re-register some of my applications like MS Office 2003 but everything else worked fine, ran full system scan using Trend and it removed 4 infected files that were still lingering on C:... Dennis

You will have to pay to use this program, only the scan is free, the actualy removal costs you cash. search Google for Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, its free and works great! Spyware Doctor is probably overall a better program, but if like me ur just looking for free go to malewarebytes!
