Guest ~BD~ Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Leythos - I've seen all your fights with pcButts et al. Please explain why you didn't direct the original poster, VJS, to cnet/Download.com, which is advertised as the download site on the Malwarebytes web site http://www.malwarebytes.org/ Surely if the staff at Malwarebytes deem it satisfactory, that will be better than going through a third party? I agree that VJS should try the facility, but I'd recommend he go here:- http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-...4-10804572.html You said yourself "Always remember - only download files from Trusted Sites" Are you 100% certain that BleepingComputer.com can be trusted?

Visit download.com, search for malware removal tools - see how many other tools they present you with and not all are free.

I'm sure most folks do not have a problem using download.com. I remember when they had a free service that would scan your computer and tell you what software needed updating abd then would get the updates for you.

Now, to address your trolling - I don't advocate that you listen to me about the quality or reputation of ANY website, you should be smart enough to judge them on your own, after YOUR OWN research. I list sites that I trust, suggest downloads from them because "I" trust them, and it's a simple thing - check BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD. Personally, I don't trust download.com - too many ads and crap to avoid. -- - Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum. - Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented worker" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist" spam999free@rrohio.com (remove 999 for proper email address) Quote

And like any other business they have an agenda. They sell/serve up ads. When you download something they offer other downloads. When you search for info they list similar info. Revenue is what makes it go. Their reviews of software/hardware are not "fair and balanced". -- Virus Removal http://max.shplink.com/removal.html Keep Clean http://max.shplink.com/keepingclean.html Change nomail.afraid.org to gmail.com to reply by email. nomail.afraid.org is setup for use in USENET by everyone Quote
