I have to tell people not to deal with this company. i paid $49.95 for xp anti virus they throw in some kind of file cleaner and added $20 to make my new total to $69.95 . i receive the file cleaner, i never receive xp anti virus. it is virtually impossible to get in touch with tech help. they disconnect you when you get down to number 2 and they ask you for your order number. i did get in touch with billing the woman (i think they are just a billing service) said she would deduct the $20 and she would send information by way of e-mail which i never received. i highly suggest that you stay away from this company. this way you won”t loss any money.

I fell for this also but I got rid of the pop up by going to SYSTEM RESTORE and backdated my computer to a date before the pop up appeared. It worked for me.

I have never been so mad! I was online and all of a sudden this program was loading on my computer! It kept telling me that I had terriable issues. I clicked on my Norton and scanned and it came up as no issues. BUT, I can not get this thing off my computer. Folks do not buy this thing. I did not buy this, it was loading up and I could not stop IT……
