    This thread is like mushrooms- they just keep
popping up based in BS. AT least 8x since 12/7.
     & they have UFO flavor of assuming u have to prove
a negative: they do NOT exist or do NO good.
    But in science U have to prove ur hypothesis NOT
assume it's true unless others prove U wrong. I tested
& reviewed ~6 of these & cant recall 1 making any
quantitative claims. I think it is foolish to do
something that involves risk with benefits not
quantified. Faster, better or smaller aint good enuf.

I posted here 3x the benefits I got- they were either
negligable or not noticable.

I asked TS about some of entries that had multiple
fixes & even they couldnt tell- like rundll with
lots quotes.

Also I noticed that most of 'bad' entries return in 2-3
days. May not be same 1's but similar.

Try running 2 different cleaners back to back, permute
the order, & then query TS about entries missed by 1st
1 run. Talk about BS !!

Waste of time.
DOA
RIP

Just my 2¢ worth- Larry

Any advise is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.
