digitalsoft Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I noticed earlier today that ?task manager?, and ?Regedit? wouldn?t open so I used ?Homecall? online scan and that found a worm called 'Mugly.I'.. So is searched about this and used a few methods found on this forum... but nothing come of it... So eventually I found a list of good spy ware and worm apps... And the best one was called 'Xoftspy' I did a scan and it found all the worms etc... Perfect! My face lit up... Then clicked next to delete and found I had to have a paid pass etc... So that then annoyed me... So I obtained the pass etc from :blush:ernet :blush: i then uninstalled the programme and now all is great.. just thought I?d share my moment of annoyan:D and pleasure :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidR Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 When you are contemplating anti-spyware/adware it is best not to download/buy a rogue, xsoftspy for some time was blacklisted by a number of sites for the reason you gave. First check out http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm, xsoftspy was recently de-listed I believe. You will have to check why.
