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 :D

[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.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
