hey i found this today just researching anyone know if this thing is any good it says it can work with other security products. biggest downside is its trial does not allow removal of anything detected, like prevx . its called Exterminate It, here is the link, http://www.exterminate-it.com/

Rated "Poor" by WOT for malware...etc.  :-\
http://hosts-file.net/?s=www.exterminate-it.com <== FSA - sites engaged in the selling or distribution of bogus or fraudulent applications

EXTERMINATE-IT.COM WEB SITE OWNER COMMENT:
First of all I would like to thank you for writing your reviews.

Right now let's answer open topics / questions

1. Whois protection is not the sign of "malware behaviour".
Many respectable sites are protected by whois protection. Our whois protection reasons are not related with quality of our services and software provided.

In the moment we are concentrated on ticket and email-based support - because we believe that this is most efficient way to resolve malware related problems.


2. Feel free to request free one week Exterminate It! Antimalware trial by contacting our Support Team:

http://www.exterminate-it.com/support


3. One week trial will be shortly publicly available


4. We was listed on the http://hosts-file.net based on personal opinion of MysteryFCM (hosts-file.net owner) after arguing with him on malwarebytes forum:

http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=5928


5. About links from "variety of download.com "wannabe" web sites". Exterminate It! is distributed via RegNow Affiliate Network. Every site can promote Exterminate It! and receive their affiliate revenue. This is legal.

We listed on many respectable web sites like download.com, download.cnet.com where software carefully checked prior to uploading.


6. Does anyone has tried the Exterminate It! antimalware before writing this review ?

The bottom line is: Exterminate It! is more than 2 years on the market - with thousands of happy customers.

We help in many cases when other brand antivirus / antimalware cannot.

We provide refunds immediately if we cannot remove infection from your PC upon first client request.

No one question will be left unanswered!

Also Exterminate It! provides many unique features as improved antirootkit scanning and Submit State processing - zero day infection detection / removal functionality.

Well then i guess that's that  ;)

My father used that on his PC for months, when he asked me if I could check why it was "running so slow" I saw that program almost immediately and was like "Uh....wow Dad...."

Merry Christmas pinnacle. Merry Christmas everyone.

Is there any news about ROCKMELT browser?

Netscape founder Marc Andreessen is backing a new browser dedicated to browsing Facebook, called RockMelt


I don't trust WOT

If the majority of its users hate PINK then PINK will be blocked.

If the majority of its users are Chinese then all democratic sites will be blocked

Just biased to the core

Hi you malware fighters,

Polonus and CharleyO already use this, but you can also benefit from these free scans of
running system scans.

You scan your HJT logfile to get a tasks survey here: http://www.computer-support.nl/Systeemtaken/Scan.php
Then scan these processes automatically and download the Agics Hashcheck, download from here:
http://www.computer-support.nl/Software/AHC/Setup.exe

I found that free tool for us here: http://www.computer-support.nl/Systeemtaken/Taakinfo/18636/jqs.exe/
American version:
http://www.backgroundtask.eu/Systeemtaken/Index.php

For more info on a particular process, click through or get it here:
http://www.backgroundtask.eu/Systeemtaken/More_info.php

On this site all the good and bad versions of a certain process are also given, be worried if you stumble upon a 0.0.0.0 version, it is a malware version....

Additionally also use ThreatExpert Memory Scanner: download and tutorial here: http://www.threatexpert.com/memoryscanner.aspx

Enjoy my good friends,

polonus
