    Hi, I ran across this information in a local computer store and thought I'd share it with you all. I had many viruses and spyware in my startup. I could easily find them with hijackthis & autoruns. But nothing would stop them. I spoke with a guy at the computer store and he directed me to a website " http://www.silent-sword.com " ... Got to say this software was easy to use and has a 30 day trial. Also, it found all my bugs and disabled them from startup so I could easily remove them.
    Enjoy!

    Sorry! Don't take it the wrong way! The internet is full of bad malware removal tools. Some of which infect you worse than you were before. I'm not saying this is one of them. But when new tools come out, especially by unknown companies, caution is advised. We will probably take a look at this program time permitting. And we shall see what it can or cannot do. Everyone advertises their programs to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. But throw a few things like HSA hijackers, Virtumundo, Look2Me VX2, and a many others at them and their real weakness is immediately shown. Most do not even detect the problems and when the do, they cannot fix them.

    As D3 indicated, stopping things from loading at startup is not removing them from your PC. They are still there. And even msconfig or many other tools can do that for free.

    Based on this info:
    It may cause more problems than it provides help. People will have all kinds of valid items that will not work. Also you have to have an internet connection to get to their network. What if you are disconnected or malware blocks access? Many malware problems do not necessarily run at startup. They can run anytime. Like as soon as you connect to the internet or when you run some other application.

    Based on what I'm reading thus far! Thumbs down!

    Okay, from my experience so far with this program, it transfers unknown files to the server and then lets you know what it bad, etc. If you dont have an internet connection, you can still open the "profile manager" to see what is listed as unknowns and malware. I truly believe this is a nice program to help stop malware. Cheers!
