Geek Speak » in reply to just to be very sure: a free conflicker removal tool

God, I hate when this happens!

The good news is I don't have conficker per Enigma's free scan. Unless, of course, it IS conficker and disguised itself as a removal tool in which case, I'm screwed.

The bad news is, I thought the link I was supposed to click was for PC Doctor which scans and tells me I have 96 infections, 2 of which were a threat and the rest were ads and spyware crap. Then up comes the thing that says to remove these, you have to purchase. Man, I hate when I click on the wrong thing. Pisses me off that they lure you in with "free" shit and then think you're gonna pay to remove. PC Doctor may or may not be good but it's a piece of shit in my book now. I don't tolerate false advertising or bait and switch or lure-ins.
