Re: Spam Posts Invasion

2010-06-29 by Iric S

I used to work in Information Technology and have a lot of experience repairing PCs as a side business.  I recently created a file on cleaning Windows PCs for another group and posted it in their files section.  It is recent, so the products that I recommended for cleaning infected PCs are still very good, IMO.  Sometimes In the AV and security world, recommendations do tend to change from year to year as products change.  I will be happy to post it here, or send copies to members who email me, if the group wishes.
