Can someone please tell me if this Anti-Vermin program is actually any good?
Is it reliable for cleaning out viruses? I'm getting constant pop-ups saying my system is infected with some kind of malware...
Please, I really need some help here...

I have Norton installed, but I'm not sure if it's still working since it's about a year and a half old now. Does the subscription expire?

Anti-Vermin is actually just straight-up spyware. It exploits various loopholes and uses trojans to install itself on your computer without permission... then it starts firing off fake alerts just to trick you into buying the full version of the software.

So, seriously, DO NOT BUY IT.
This needs to be wiped from your hard drive immediately.

Yeah, but here’s the catch: every time he scans it, I’m all set to go, but then it just pops up asking if I want the full version, or if I should hit cancel or select "already purchased"...
So, what am I supposed to do?? Can you please walk me through this step-by-step? I really need some guidance here!

you probably gotta just buy the damn thing if you want it to wipe everything clean. what kind of software are you even running right now and which specific ones are giving you shit and refusing to delete?

I've got Ad-Aware SE and this SpyHunter thing that just refuses to budge...
And these constant pop-up warnings won't stop hitting me...
Someone please help me out...

Just run a system restore... that’s how I fixed my mess once before.

What’s the deal with the node, is it actually running, is it even updated, or did the license expire already?

So, I’m definitely not some tech wizard when it comes to computers...
What exactly is System Restore, and how do I actually use it?
I’m pretty sure she finally got her software license sorted out, too...

You know how to uninstall software? If you do, then go ahead and wipe all three of those programs off my system right now.

Wait, what... spy software? No way...
Are you talking about the "Add or Remove Programs" section in the Control Panel...?!?!

Look, you gotta get that installed first. It really just depends on how many service packs your Windows XP is running, but honestly, it’s gonna take a minute.
