Anyone use Pest Patrol?

Post by Superman »

So I finally ran a search on the annoying popup that I can't get rid of, and a program called 'Pest Patrol' says it can get rid of it. I am using this software now, and so far it blows 'ad-aware' away.

Anyone try it?

That's what surprised me about it. It finds everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. Now, if someone could tell me how to delete junk in the system registry, I would appreciate it (I'm too cheap to buy it).
