Hi all, after i did a general inquiry on my computer on how to delete ASK, i was led to a 'free' PC HEALTH ADVISOR application by PARETOLOGIC which, upon investigation was another registry cleaner. of course, they wanted money, $53.97 for 2 years. what's the low-down on all of this please? robert.

In a word..... RUN! In fact, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! Found this at a website I use called "should I remove it."

Warning, multiple anti-virus scanners have detected possible malware in ParetoLogic PC Health Advisor.
uninstall.exe (56958f17ca3a15e5d635696edce23722) has been flagged by the following 3 scanners:

Bitdefender Gen:Trojan.Heur.FU.qy3@aSBOqkci
G Data Gen:Trojan.Heur.FU.qy3@aSBOqkci
TrendMicro-HouseCall TROJ_GEN.F47V0723

I use this website for removal of malware like the Ask toolbars etc. They are very clear in their directions and provide pictures to help you along.

thanks for the very disturbing info Draclvr. would you include InstallSafe in the above? robert.

Probably - the little I can find about it does not inspire confidence.

That malwaretips.com website is great for getting rid of malware infections.
