Google ads are nothing to do with Web User. They are adverts provided by Google and Web User has no control over them. I know it's a bit late now but never, never pay for security software that offers to scan your PC but demands money before it will clean it. The software recommended in the forum is all free and will clean your PC for nothing.

Can you give us some more information on this programme please? Is SpywarePro the full and correct name? Do you have the website url?

Joe.

I wouldn't trust that company with any of my money!

[ QUOTE ]
1. Spyware Pro scans your computer for hidden parasites such as adwares, spywares, trojans, dialers and removes them permanently. The award winning software is 100% FREE!!

[/ QUOTE ]

So where does it say I've got to pay anything.

You try and use some of the links on that site. You get nothing from the 'About Us' link or the 'Company' link.

This is an example of the English as she is spoke [ QUOTE ]
Our company is working in this market since 10 years

[/ QUOTE ]

Here's another classic [ QUOTE ]
Is it safe to use my credit card online?
A: Absolutely! PayPal sells our products - they are a trusted online retailer specializing in digitally delivered products.

[/ QUOTE ] Is that right - is that what PayPal do?

And finally, why can't I find anything about this company via Google - apart from the paid Ads of course?

If I was the OP I would be asking for my money back a bit sharpish. It should be quite easy, just look at this [ QUOTE ]
Is my purchase guaranteed?
A: Yes! All orders are backed by our unconditional 8 week money-back guarantee. If you are unhappy with your purchase, for any reason, simply contact us via e-mail within 8 weeks for a full refund.

In view of Greyst's discoveries I'm surprised SpywareWarrior hasn't got something on there about it. I wonder if its Eastern European?

Perhaps its on there "To do" list

When I click on the free scan button all I get is the option to download the exe file "SpywareProSetup.exe". I googled this file and there is nothing about it at all. I think it would be an idea for skiddly to upload this file to Jotti File analysis.


To Upload files for scanning.
Please go here http://virusscan.jotti.org/ and upload:
C:\Program Files\Spyware Pro\SpywareProSetup.exe if that is the correct location. (Amend as required.)

Or this alternative:
VirusTotal
