Hi everybody.

Again, I've just received an update from Camtech about Spyware Nuker (transcript follows):


Greeting once again,

I have updated my last article on Spyware Nuker after running extensive install/uninstall tests on it as well as their latest release NoPop! which is even worst than the "Nuker". Both leave files behind after uninstalling (one always runs with Windows) and I've listed those files as well as easy to follow removal instructions. If you have used either program I strongly suggest you take a minute to read the update. It's amazing what these guys are trying now.

Rather that bogging down your inbox with it I've posted it on the Web. Please feel free to pass this link along to anyone and everyone that might be interested. The faster we get the word out on this Sleaze Ware the better.

Thanks for your help,

Jerry Campbell

That is great information you supplied. It would have been nice if you could have posted it in the Security and Virus section of this forum. As I belong to other forums Winguides, Systemgods, PC911, Smartcomputing, this information would be good to pass along, so I will copy the URL and let the other sites in on yet another unscupulous company. Thanks for the research and keeping "Joe Computer User informed."

Unbelieveable.

That just isn't right. So, how is the average I-bought-a-computer-and-I-know-how-to-turn-it-on guy supposed to know how to avoid this kind of piracy?
