    Sounds like a good deal.

    What do some of the tech wizards on here think about this program?

    Does a novice like me need it?

    I wouldnt pay for that if i were me...
    All that information can be found in other places in windows.

    I think it would be better for a novice to learn where that information really is, instead of relying on that software to tell you.

    99c is a good deal, although that app also has a free version anyway, only things missing are real time detection of new apps and a 24/7 support, but 99c is a good price for a "plus" version of an application, but choice is yours and while I wouldnt use it as I use the below, for a novice who doesnt wish to trawl around various apps it can be useful.

    Majority of the information can and is found in this free one also Autoruns

    Ive heard its mostly best for gamers, is this true?
    Right now Ive got a worm on my other comp. that I have to work on today, would it have helped?

    Thanks!

    Well, I use the free version, and .99 for a lifetime upgrade sounds pretty good.:drool
    May just spring for it. Will be the very first pay-for program for me.:-D

    Not off hand seen anything in the application that would suggest its great for gamers, but if you have a link to an article where you heard this I'd be grateful as I would like to read.

    No link,

    Someone just had said that on another site (not comp. site).

    But since I spent 14 hours (not a tech) cleaning a worm off my winXP machine yesterday, I was wondering what it was best for?

    I can use any help I can get!:-D

    Hi

    Give this review HERE a read (also read pt2), Donna is a bit of a security specialist.

    At 99c it maybe worth you giving it a try.

    Have already got mine.
    Used free for several years and like the program.
    Easy to upgrade to.

    Sounds to me like spybot resident but a smaller app.
