    I thought I recalled that somewhere in your Malware forum you had a list of programs that were known to be dangerous or just bad for your system from a malware perspective. My niece has downloaded just about everything she can find, and I thought I'd run through her programs list and uninstall this kind of junk. Do you no longer maintain a list like that on your site? If not, do you have a suggestion where I might find one? Thanks.

    Over the years, some of those programs on our list becamse outdated, and then obviously, more needed to be added/removed. There are so many out there now that we just couldn't keep editing the list all the time. People who come here and run our procedures generate logs which let's us see what is installed, and we can then advise the user to uninstall known rogue/nuisance softwares.

    Best idea is for you to get a list together of all you have installed, one way or another, and ask about it in the software forum if you are unsure. :)

    I had a feeling that might be the case. Thanks for responding.
