I just love these commercials for sites like maxmyspeed, etc. “Or you could be experiencing spam”… I realize they are just using buzzwords the average joe blow has heard before, but come on. If people would realize if you just delete the spam w/o opening it, that would help greatly. – Stevo ---

I find it hilarious that I keep a pristine box (WinXP) that I can restore to Pristine (SP3) condition within minutes and after going to said sites… I’m infected with… spam… spyware … adware… AND TEMP files??? Really? Thousands of internet temp files… minutes after exposing my “pristine” PC to the internet… the only site is your removal site… Where do I sign up???
