These people (Secure Computing LLC) are not exactly on the up & up. Currently there is a worm traversing the internet that attempts to send you to their website, incorrectly claiming that you are infected with the "Sasser" worm that is actively wreaking havoc on the Internet. They also are selling an application called Popup Padlock, I believe, that they are selling for $40, which does something that you can do on your own computer in about 1 minute for free. Make your own judgement I guess.

get american express to reverse those charges.

and there is a thing in the united states called the fair trade practices act.
which is prosecutable in cases like these.

you should write an articulate complaint to the federal trade commision also.

why don't you just do the thing that the smart people do.
just use the services of reputable websites like computercops and others too and not the bad guys.
i posted a link for the federal trade commission send them your complaint.
use the fair trade practices act as your point of complaint.
they do act on complaints here in this government.
now if you have spyware that you need removed , do yourself a favor and register here and get a uname and then a link will be sent to you to activate your account, you must activate or the account is deleted.
did i fail to mention that registering is free???
then post your complaint in the forum"hijackthis and get help from a first resonder.
and if you do not reister you will find it immpossible to follow your threads as the system has no way of indexing and cataloging your posts or any way to notify you of respones to your posts.
so it is worth your while to register here.
and do your self a favor, please coose a uname that will not make you sound like a circus clown on drugs or alcohol or that is mentally deficient when people see it.
once you have that name registered, froget about changing it.
you just take time to look through the new posts and see the names that [eople give themselves and you should understand.
my user name is TMOV.
LET ME KNOW WHAT YOURS TURNS OUT TO BE, I'LL CONGRATULATE YOU AND WELCOME YOU ABOARD.
and we have a tavern here that all new members go to to buy all the folks there a round of drinks,seeya there.

Reply with quote

I had Spyware Cleaner on my system. Spybot Search and Destroy always found and red flagged. I never removed though using Spybot and so I just un-installed the program. Suprisingly, I just updated my intelli-signatures using Spyware Doctor (PC Tools) and they must have just added detection of Spyware Cleaner and all associated Reg Keys, etc. The scan found Spyware Cleaner registry keys and associated the program as a "rogue anti-spyware program" and prompted me to delete 70 reg keys associated with the program. This was AFTER I un-installed Spyware Cleaner. Spyware Doctor removed all traces of Spyware Cleaner so no more pop-ups, etc. etc. YOu can purchase Spyware Doctor at PC Tools...and it is not a Rogue program like Spyware Cleaner....http://www.pctools.com/. I also have Webroot Spysweeper and I was suprised it also did not find Spyware Cleaner program or traces as an infection...they must not have updated their definitions to include the Spyware Cleaner as an infection. If anyone needs the reg keys Spyware Doctor found from Spyware Cleaner I can post them on this forum from the log file for you to manually remove.
Good Luck!
