Its a good application. I don't know what your talking about floaterz, windows overall or this program? Because you don't have to be a rocket scientist to operate it.

[color=#0000FF]Regardless, an AntiSpyware program is an AntiSpyware program, and matter of fact, i'm having issues with spyware myself. I'm having truck loads of pop-ups, and its been preventing me from playing SFO, as when you open another window during a fight, you can't move until you click on SFO again, and if pop-ups come up, you can't move until you get rid of the current ad or ads, and in that time you can get hit bad. That's why 2 days ago I just made myself a chat room floormat, being remember by people from 5 in the afternoon to 2 at night. Pop-ups are NOT something you want just roaming on your comp. I tried to remove the programs by going to Add/Remove Programs, but most of them tried to trick you by telling you that the program ISN'T spyware, and actually tries to help get rid of them.....saying things like, "Wait! Are you sure you want to lose all of these great offers? Do you want to discontinue the un-install and continue to recieve these gifts? Yes-No".....And it also wouldn't let me un-install them without answering 4 questions about WHY I wanted to get rid of them, like what could've the program have done to prevent you from making such a decision......pop-ups are BAD, lol.....that's why i'm downloading that AntiSpyware right now.

EDIT; Great, I just figured out I downloaded an AntiSpyware program that wasn't compatible with my computer. It was for Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server

This is a really good program. I've been using AdAware and Spybot, but this is much better. Regardless of if you hate or love Microsoft, this one really works.

do you HAVE to fill in all that stuff about genuine microsoft ???

alamgir · 04-12-2005, 10:33 AM

Nope you don't have to.

alamgir · 04-12-2005, 11:12 AM

Sorry for the double post but I accidentally deleted some files from my pc with this program. Does anyone know how I can get them back?

Dark_Paladin_X · 04-12-2005, 12:04 PM

Try System Restore..and go back to when you had them. If you don't have System Restore on, then your out of luck.

alamgir · 04-12-2005, 12:34 PM

I've tried system restore but it hasn't recovered my files. Damn ther must be something I can do.

Warmor · 04-12-2005, 12:57 PM

How did you do that?

alamgir · 04-12-2005, 02:43 PM

Basically I had a program containing spyware with a folder connected to it which had my important stuff in. Everything started to get removed and I only realised it until almost all of my files were gone. now I know for a fact that things don't actually get deleted from your pc and are only recognized as space for overwriting when you d/l some more stuff. So there must be some sort of software that can help me out right?
