TraceDestroyer ????

Aug 24, 2004 7:57AM PDT

I reciently recieved an email for a download called TraceDestroyer. I have been looking around and have not found any information on it. It is said to be a program that permanently removes potentially hazardous files on your computer of where you have been. Has any one heard of it?? The site is(http://LKSDNS.INFO?id=173&affid=6154)Is this spam a virus or what?? If any one has any information on it I would greatly appreciate it.

I never heard of Trace Destroyer until now but there are many of this type of program. So, that's not surprising. Happy

But, since you seem to think of this as spam (as I would), then I would be wary of using this program. And, this program had a cost to it on some of the sites from this google search:

A free and very good alternative is Internet Sweeper. You might want to do a google search for it. Happy
