Parasites
Posted by starfire on February 19th, 2004


I did a scan on my PC and it says i have a parasite and
says it is severe,it seemsto be impairing my memory,I have
installed a 126 KB memory card, and i still run out of
memory for the things I need to do.
It refered me to download a more extensive scannerto
clearout the parasites,but they want to be paid for it,and
I can't affordit right now, how do I get rid of parasites
without having to pay for expensive programs?

I use www.komando.com, www.wugnet.com and www.pcmag.com
for tips on different windows versions. Somewhere in one
of these web-sites is a free scan from a company to find
and rid your computer of parasites/spyware. As a matter
of fact, in the komando web-site, she's always praising
this free spy detector, www.spy-bot.com. Check at her
web-site for the address, the one I just put in might not
be exactly correct. I use it!
