Did PO Downloads hurt your computer? If so, he's the solution

Well this has come up a lot recently, so if you ever are having a problem with your machine after downloading something (and my recommendation is DONT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING), I would run the following 3 programs - they are all free, and will require reboots after the 1st 2 steps:

AdwCleaner (AdwCleaner Download)

JRT (Junk Removal Tool - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/down...-removal-tool/)

Malwarebytes (Malwarebytes : Free anti-malware download)

Edit: I'm adding one more program to the list as a last resort - ComboFix. I've used it before and it's very powerful, but can mess up existing programs. Use wisely.

Download em all first, then run them in order. This will also remove any pornados you might have acquired "by accident".

You might want to add Sandboxie into this, to prevent any damage from being done in the first place.

Well that's the step you take BEFORE downloads - although I still recommend no downloads.

If you are new to PO downloads can make you like 3k, so I would recommend them, as long as it's done safely.

I dont know how to properly say this so here goes....FUCK A DOWNLOAD!!!

Your link for JRT does not work. Try this one:
Junkware Removal Tool Download
BE CAREFUL - the first thing that shows up as a download is a commercial ad. You want the button that says "Download now @ Author's site".

i have never gotten any points from the download but only alot of junk

i just downloaded the malware that rivdee posted!! wow its working great, i had a virus and kept getting bluescreened!! popped up twice today saying it blocked the virus!! weeeeeeeeeeee! thought i was gonna have to get a new computer!!btw, i havent downloaded crap in a long time, not sure where the virus came from!! but thanks for posting that rivdee!!

i done these an rarely got the pointsbut got alot of trouble from them,so i quit doin that aspect of points earning,alot of ways to earn tho so no big loss

i would just hardly not recomend downloads..... O.o
but its a nice thread riv.......thanks.... :)

Just updated the main post with correct links.

this is a really good post riv. i will use it for future reference.

I haven't downloaded anything and don't intend to but where do you get the sandboxie?

nice update rivdee!! my malware one just gave up the free trial!!! gonna have to try another one!! i hope the other work as good as the malware one!!

yea I dont download anything from here, since i got a nasty virus!! How does this snadboxie work??

Great resource post. I needed something like this. Thank you.

For what it is worth, it should be noted that these downloads ARE NOT PO downloads. Rather they are third party downloads.

Edit; The thread title... usually when "He" is used in such a way, the writer is referring to Jesus. Am I therefore expected to go to church and thank "him" for these tools? Just curious......

Freudian Slip. No correction necessary ;)

i always take the virus out by myself when i get one i nalso have a virus prog that dont let them run on my laptop but my old puter i just take them out my self and i always get all of them they hide in lots of places so do beaware and get something unless you know how to take them out yourself

i try to avoid the downloads as much as possible. I find it much easier clearing my history and sign ups and surveys.

I got a separate hard drive with OS I run em on it. and rather than remove all the addware you get with downloads,I just restore it can be faster but i DO NOT care about that hard drive it was ticking and expect to get a few virus's

Hey thanks this is an awesome post!! I need this!

i wish that was one thing we could eliminate is all the spyware adware

most of the add-ware is installed in your browser as extensions i've only found 1 in win32 "addpeak"but have found about 5 Trojans in one day up date your virus protection should be good to go
