My friend just last week watched a news program, I think NBC, not 100% sure,
but he downloaded the XP antivirus 2008 and after finding that it was not
free tried to get rid of it and couldn't figure out how. I told him about
the program SDfix and after running it twice, it worked. He did get rid of
it. I hope this helps someone else that goes for the word of that news
station and finds it's not free and they can't get rid of it. SDfix works !
Vern.
