Re: Beware these "fake" antispyware programs

Just to point out that I didn't say that Site Advisor was the only thing I relied on - I do use my brain, too. One of the rules my brain applies is that all porn sites will most likely do something nasty to my computer, so I simply stay away from them.

I'm sure that none of these filters are perfect, especially since they just evolve by usage and reports. But they act as a good reminder to pay attention and not to automatically click on a site just because Google brings it up.
Well said, i totally agree with you. Being a long time member here has showed me some of the In's and outs of what to look for when it comes to bad-ware and the only reason i posted that i use (Trendprotect) was to help those who are new who use google or what ever search engine to look for help, that there are programs out there that are safe to use that will help you to avoid clicking on those links that take you to these fake antispyware programs, well that and using your head of course.
