Stephen who?

Spam disguised as help?

Mods alerted.

Failed to notice PrntRhd is a mod. :(

Your second link leads to a site that advertises a number of trash programs and at least one bad link to another site... That wouldn't happen to be your site would it??

I suggest EXTREME CAUTION to anyone who chooses to visit that site... There are many safe and reputable sites that offer the legit programs, including the originating sites for each of the programs...

[PrntRhd]

That's good enough for me, edited the now evident spam.

[JoyRipple]

All the links in that message are legit links:
1-Sargent Geeks dot com is one of them
2-CN Downloads is the other one.
3- Mozilla is the 3rd one.

Who is Stephen? He is a friend of my husband.

This is basic good computer info.

[Budfred]

All the links in that message are legit links:
1-Sargent Geeks dot com is one of them

It includes an obsolete link to Spywareinfo forums that actually goes to a parked pages advertising any number of rogue programs... It also contains a direct link to a clear malware program...

As I said earlier, there are a number of reputable sites that have links to the legit programs mentioned on those pages or to the originating sites (better)...

If your intent was not to SPAM, you could have been clearer about your purpose in posting and avoided referring to someone that was not at all evident and still isn't clear... That Stephen is a friend of your husband means nothing to us since we do not know you and have no idea why you would post a thread in this forum referring to this person... If you are saying that you are responding to that person, that is also confusing since you have never posted here before...

You could also have answered my question about whether you have a stake in the site you have noted again... And finally, you could have looked around the forum and seen that the tools you recommended have pretty much all been recommended before in other threads here by people who have a history in this forum and have developed some trust...

Finally, referring to us a "You knucleheads!" (sic), is unlikely to earn you any trust here...
