Hello, I'm an ignorant person.

Has anyone ever heard of XoftSpy by Paretologic? Their ad is at:

http://www.paretologic.com/xoftspy/lp/14/

It says I can do it for free and remove bad things.

Is it really that simple? I can just click on the "Download Now" and just watch the computer?

I do not want to be closing or opening anything as I don't want to get tangled up.

Thank you very much. Honestly, I fluctuate between wanting to throw my computer away and getting a degree in computer science or something.

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.
