The average user will simply download, scan, pay the fee and hope to 'fix' the threats found. But this is an antimalware application, why is it scanning the registry to remove valid, and sometimes necessary, legitimate extensions? The average user does not have the knowledge to deal with this sort of thing and accept at face value that it will remove malware from their machine. What this proposes to remove is really quite a scary thought! Given the hype surrounding this program I decided to run it, and to be honest the results are scary.

The spam appears to come from someone called Christine, though her email address suggests that her name is David Miller. This is irrelevant, of course: it turns out that other bloggers, including some security bloggers, are seeing the same messages but with different ostensible senders such as Cheryl or Beatrice.

I've asked about 15 quiestions and every single one of them has been answered (within a couple days, some within hours) with a response that provided a solution, and those alone,for me, have paid the subscription fees. There is thousands of members to EE who are very knowledgable, and provide immeadiate assitance to what your problem may be. Forget that you may be asking a question, you also have access to their database of millions of previously asked questions, so if you ever find yourself stuck on something, chance are someone else has gone through a related problem, and its in their database. I would put the "experts" of EE against any free public forum. I used to work with guy who had his mcse, ccna, and all sorts of toshiba telephone systems and voip certifications... he subscribes to EE, and turned me on to it. However if your sitting at home not knowing how share a file between computers, of course it wouldn't be that useful. Its for serious IT people. Their company name is an accurate description of what service they provide. I’ve been using experts-exchange for a few months now.
