It automatically downloaded onto my low-power netbook when I downloaded something else to get rid of a virus… and now it’s making internet slow and take 20 seconds to get to another page.

Scan your system with Spyware Doctor or malwarebytes.

please someone tell me how to do it step by step. thanks for all help.

It’s not difficult but involved. You don’t need a CD. Just do a web search for "format hard drive" and you get a ton of sites with step-by-step instructions.

CAUTION: You will lose every bit of data on your system. Be sure and back up files, programs, documents, drivers…..anything you don’t want to lose.

EDIT: You DO NOT have to have a cd to format.
You will need a boot disk and some sort of OS to install after you format.

1.Open Computer Management by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, clicking Administrative Tools, and then double-clicking Computer Management. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

2.In the Navigation pane, under Storage, click Disk Management.

3.Right-click the volume that you want to format, and then click Format.

4.To format the volume with the default settings, in the Format dialog box, click OK, and then click OK again.

downloaded PC Tools Spyware Doctor in an attempt to get rid of XP Smart Security popping up. Now I can’t open anything on the control panel – everything I click says – no application. Any suggestions?

Download MalwareBytes Anti-malware (FREE). http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php gives links to free programmes and help. You can also ask for help there from the regulars. Alternatively this site gives info on many current malware threats http://bestfree-spyware-virus-trojan-protec.blogspot.com/

The program still opens but does not function after the main menu. How do i change the settings back to normal?

Without seeing the actual program I can’t walk you through step-by-step, but you can usually change which programs are blocked by going to your firewall in the actual security program (from the main page) and then uncheck the program.

I have Avast anti virus and Threatfire which is an anti virus/ anti spyware/ anti malware that works with all the current AVs out there today so can I choose threatfire as an alternative to malwarebytes and super anti spyware because I dont want them to slow down pc?

although threatfire is very good it wont do what malwarebytes and superatnispyware would do keep all three hope this helps p.s malwarebytes and superantispyware are on demand scanners they wont slow u down

Are These two security programs of PC Tools good enough for my PC? 10 points for the most informative answer. Thanks!

These programs aren’t spyware but they’re annoying as heck. Both require you to purchase them to even start using them to their full potential. Steer away from them.

If you want to scan for spyware and then remove it for free, go with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

I got a $30 charge from PC Tools on a credit card for my 2010 Registry Mechanic. Registry Mechanic is a completely worthless program and I didn’t think I’d sign up to to re-screwed annually by PC Tools.
How can they get away with his crap?

You agreed to it some where in the T & C’s
