thanks, but...
i got my license number in the email, typed it in, and it didn't work...

apparantly the number they sent me is invalid

[edit:] the serial number is only meant to work for subscribers of this pc user magazine thingy and is meant only to work with the exact version included on the cd that came with the magazine.


thanks, but this is useless unless you get that magazine with that cd

Did you download from the link on the promotional page? Try it from there. Worked fine for me.

ANyone can download it, it's just getting it to clean that takes the registration code.

It would make sense that one of the very few pieces of software I buy would offer it free a couple weeks later.

I'm sorry, but free licence or not, any program that calls it a download and then says "please buy me to remove what I found" needs to me taken out back and shot.

I think it is a good tactic. It is showing you how much more they find than the 'free' competitors product. I will swear by Spyware Doctor finding way more than any of the popular free 3 antispyware apps (Spybot, Adaware, MS Antispyware). It worked for me and now I use it on ever machine I work on. Their license is very flexible and can be used on multiple machines. I just usually uninstall it on customer's machine's after cleaning them with it.

what it does, makes you wanna tell them to "lick my hairy white nut sack"

it makes me think of all the stupid programs that are being advertised in popup ads, the user then clicks on it and downloads and installs the application to do what the ad promised it would do. Only to have it say ok we found problems but you have to buy me first to fix them.

I think its a cheap way to make a user to buy your program. instead of showing the user how you just fixed there computer, and making them apriate it anough to buy it, but in these cases it forces the user.
