I owned a brand new PC for less than a week when I started to be accosted by those annoying and constantly multiplying ad-ware pop ups. I tried a few of the free blocking programs and they just seemed to ad more protection warning ads to the mix. Every time I tried to uninstall these useless tools it seemed that my PC was running slower and now different pop ups were occurring. It got so bad that it took almost a half hour to clear the screen to where I could even get back on the Internet.
Before my computer slowed again I read a review about Double My Speed. I found that the speed doubling claim was about restoring your original speed by removing just the kind of trash that was growing on my computer every time I turned it back on.
Once I downloaded doublemyspeed.com, which took several tries getting through the pop-ups, I had it running and the list of Trojans and other junk it found went on for pages. Some of these programs are strictly meant to regrow another pop-up everytime you turn the computer on and they do their job too well.
Once the list stopped I used their 800 number to activate the working part of the program and was told that they have ways of getting around those pop-up during the installation phase. Should have used Doublemyspeed tech support for that but at least now I know its there 24/7 should I have more troubles.
