If anyone is thinking of downloading Speed It Up Free 4.60 please note if your running spyware doctor it will block 3 registry entries as malicious script , even tho norton and trojan hunter scans came back clean dont know if its another f/p ffs but perhaps someone could have a look at it , anyway it appears ok , if you are going to install it turn spyware doctor off , also it appears that spyware doctor is disabling 12 items in spyware blaster but they say its not and i know it bloody well it is cus i have 2 versions of spyware doctor on several pc's and its the latest one thats the culprit plus the fact the latest version for reasons best known to itself needs prizing out of the system tray to load , to bloody funny quick launch bring back stephensons rocket ,lol.

Please note as previously stated the program Speed It Up For Free 4.60 does work (even tho 3 registry changes where blocked as malicious), although there is a link to other software , some off which was classified as rogue/bogus anti-spyware (by spyware warrior and others ,( spyware begone and spyware vanish now de-classified as rogue still a bit iffy tho )), although spyware doctor still classifies them both as rogue applications , just so you know and btw you lot at CNET i have seen a lot of this recently , so called software companies giving away good free programs only to entice the unwary into buying some other junk that is just bloody useless , so those who make the decisions to add certain programs to the downloads section should follow up and make sure its not linked to a load of crap , lol .

Double checking as Dr.Web said it was ,no response from norton or trojan hunter or spyware doctor either its a f/p or the others are lagging behind ( not unknown ) if it is hope cnet take the download down , like i said in my previous posts it all looked a bit iffy and the dat files dont get updated as quick as they should and when u get a f/p they take ages to correct that , have come to the conclusion that i will buy a pc for $300 and cobblers to all the security crap and just bin the bloody thing when it stops working , cheaper in the long run , anti-virus /spyware/trojan i could build a pc for there annual subscriptions and just reformat the dam thing if it goes tiit's up (to funny u can post ***** but not **** aka ***** lol) , as i only use the one pc for messing about ,the others go thro a so called secure network and are covered by my company , howls and growls (must be a full moon ) , lol thats better =))
PS:- double checked it either Dr.Web is giving f/p's or it is a trojan , someone at cnet check this out ffs
