We have been asked several times by our customers about the programs you see in “pop-ups” and advertisements when you are surfing the ‘net.  How do you know if they are legit?  Well, it is getting much harder to determine that now, since they look very professional, and even provide support information.  The main problem is that these programs almost never do what they claim, and sometimes, even make the computer run worse than it did before.  Of course, you usually discover this after you pay for the software.  So here is a list of some of the software that we have come across that you should stay away from.

• Drivecleaner
• WinFixer and WinAntivirus

We will be updating this list as we discover more.
