IOBIT Premium Services

richlars · 04 Jul 2013

Layback Bear, Thank you very much for steering me here. Between ICit2lol and VistaKing I think we have it nailed. Things seem to be running as they should be. I can't believe the difference!

Looking back, the best advice I could offer to anyone is to trust you guys. IOBIT, as I have been thinking about it may have a long term plan to rip off people as much as possible. It seems like a very good tool for a while, and then it is almost like they steer you to call their premium service. The first time it steered me to IYOGI which I suckered in for. That was a costly mistake. This last time they had their in-house US based support which was more appealing, but the script sounded just like IYOGI without the Indian accent.

I really appreciate you Gurus at Seven Forums. It takes effort on our part to follow your instructions, but it is tons better than letting some unknown character take remote control of your computer. Plus you learn tons as you do it.

Thank you very much, Rich

WOW!!! That really helped a lot I ran the disk check and that did find a few problems, I then ran the adwcleaner and hope I did it correctly. I first ran the search, and then ran it again using the delete option. I installed superantispyware and ran a scan and found 122 problem, mostly tracking cookies.
Your not kidding about the TDSSKiller download ref being hard to find. But I eventually found it and ran it but it came up clean.

The difference in my browsers is amazing. There are a few issues remaining. Chrome is running very well, but I will have to give it some time to see if one problem persists. I had forgot to mention that if I have had chrome open for a while or had a lot of tabs open, when I would exit out it would freeze my machine for up to 10 minutes.
I don't know if I have just not used IE for a long time and not doing things right, but the address bar seems broken. If I type or paste and address in, it just sits there. Suggestions pop up but again if I click on one it still just sits there. But if I begin with a search it does very well and opens links now where it did not before.

Thank you very much ICit2lol

No probs Rich as VK suggested ADW I always reboot after it deletes and I keep a copy in my Downloads folder for future use:)
Yes mate steer well away form the super tune up stuff it is crap excepting CCleaner of course.

Remove any unwanted extensions inside Chrome by clicking on the three horizontal bars button on the far right side . Then click on Settings choose extensions and remove any of them you don't need .
