1. The Anti-Parasite Suite of 5 noted tools are used without ill effect my many. The only noted issue is that some malware that will be removed damaged the Layered Service Provider and the tools noted don't damage such (the damage was done by the malware.)
2. LSPFIX entered at http://www.google.com can find articles about this.
3. Symantec does not do Adware, Spyware, Pests or Parasites because (quote) It's not a virus. (unquote)
Bob
Marianna,
I am addressing this to you because you posted the most links, but anyone can respond.
I have copied all those links to anti-adware/spyware, and the blocker links, etc., that have been posted by you and others.
Two questions:
First, I have Norton Anti-Virus and Norton Internet Security at work and updated daily.
Q1. My "off-line" computer will not let me go on-line due to the problem stated in "Unrelenting Error Message", posted earlier, so how do I download any of these programs?
Q2. If I should happen to have all these downloads, are they all compatible, or will they start screwing up the system and interferring with each other?
I am posting this message on another computer.
