Spam----unsolicited mail/message. Used primarily to sell something. How do

Pushing any anti-virus programs is spam.

Tips for diagnosing and fixing a slow computer

Tush and pish, with a healthy dollop of pshaw.

Kaja was merely making recommendations of *anti*-virus programs along
with anti-malware and cleaning apps. What's your problem with that?




I'd be interested to hear your reasoning for that statement and what your
definition of "spam" is.




OP reported a slow-down, programs opening unprompted, not closing, an
unresponding machine and *asked* for help.

Kaja responded with a long post recommending three anti-virus solutions
(Symantec, Microsoft & Avast), two anti-malware products and a disk cleaner
as well as making a few other recommendations.

Whatever you think of the reply's technical content and whatever you think
of the products that were recommended (and I personally shun Symantec as
much as I can), you're really out of order labelling it as spam.

Unsolicited? Nope. Trying to sell one product? Nah, a variety of products
were being *recommended*. Done primarily to sell something? Give over,
he/she was trying their best to help.

Sounds like you've got some sort of axe to grind. Or perhaps you feel for
some reason that only freeware products should ever be mentioned here?
