ManInBlack has nothing....his virus doesn't work.

So I thought I would try one of the viruses out, and to my dismay, none of them worked.

Don't go clicking on them though, just in case they do.

In this 14 second time frame inbetween your posts I ruined my computers by downloading that Virus.

Thanks allot brother.

I’ve been using Acronis True Image and its “Try and Decide” option which allows you to run in a virtual environment, so that if you pick up anything bad, you simply discard the changes.

I tried clicking on all 3 virus links (ManInBlack, ladyAdmin and another), but initially Malwarebytes caught them all. Then Iolo System mechanic caught them. So I disabled all my virus and malware software and tried them again, to no avail.

Damnit. I like torturing myself like that.

I've used it for the past 6-7 years on all my computers, there's nothing better for maintaining your computer. CCleaner is a nice, free alternative but does not have many advanced features like Iolo does.

The anti virus seems similar to most others and I don't run the firewall because it conflicts with my Majick Jack. But the maintenance portion of the program is top notch.

If it's slowing down your system, then it's time for a fresh install or reformat. most likely, you have remnants of other anti virus software on your computer and they are fighting for resources; they don't play friendly with each other. Revo uninstaller does a good job of eliminating programs that stick around after a OEM uninstall.

Just some thoughts...
