I finally decided to get this and use it today. 334 frigging unwanted files that I was completely unaware of. :neutral:

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

Removes spyware, adware, etc...

Basicly gets rid of all the crap that gets automatically downloaded with some programs and just by visiting some websites.

Yeah.

The reason I finally got it was because I had a couple of new toolbars show up in IE. Damn self-downloading programs. :mad:

Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.

Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown
