Webhelper Review: XOFTSPY Don't buy and here the reasons why
I have installed xoftspy and reviewed it. Here is my findings and what my thoughts are 1. PARETOLOGIC is the website the software is installed from. However, any business IMO that registers their site under Domains By Proxy in order to keep their true identity a secret is not a company I want to give money to. 2. The site is big on ad hype and getting affiliates to sell for them. 3. Domain names that are advertising the xoftpsy are the same that I was collecting about 3 weeks ago and then they were advertising the Spyhunter. 4. The sites below are all registered under Domains By Proxy so the real owners are not shown. The IP's show they are either one or more virutal servers that can have multiple domain names per 1 IP address. Bottom Line: Would you give your money to someone who you cannot find out about. There is no statements of who or how the reference file of adware is updated. And like any Pyramid scheme, the main push is to get affiliates to sell for you, so much of the ad hype is directed in that area instead of supporting the end user that buys the software. IMO: This is a scam. |
THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.
What they are offering is a FreeScan...to remove what it finds you will need to buy the full product........ I couldn't figure out what the price is....

There lies the root of the problem ;)

The problem malware has on a system like Linux is that the user typically doesn't have permission to install programs. If someone is dumb enough to do random web browsing as "root", then they deserve to be infected.
In most Windows environments (other than corporate set-ups), the user typically has at least some install privileges, if not full "Administrator" rights.
What does your wife say? :^"
