Spyware Nuker

Don't know about you but I finally got disgusted with all the
spyware and adware on my computer. It seemed that pop-ups
and browser windows were opening constantly and it was
really slowing me down.

About three weeks ago I purchased Spyware Nuker and I
must tell you that it has really helped.

The first time I ran it, it found 83 objects - no wonder my
computer was acting badly, it was possessed!

Now I have to admit that Spyware Nuker does not prevent
this intrusive code from being placed on your machine so you
have to run it periodically. I try to run it every Saturday and
did have to run it more often one week. (Those start page
exchanges can really load this stuff on your machine quickly!)

Also, one Saturday I did have to run it three times to get all the
garbage removed. The first time I ran it, it found 57 objects to
be removed. When it went to remove them it found one that
needed the system to reboot to complete the removal. I clicked
"OK" and all went well but I decided to run the program again
just to make sure everything was gone. Good thing I did since it
found 17 objects to be removed. Again it found one that needed a
system reboot. After that reboot, I ran it again and found only
4 objects to be removed. I did run it again after it removed the
4 objects just to be sure but it didn't find anything.

After using Spyware Nuker for a few weeks I highly recommend
this product. I still get garbage put on my computer but now I
can clean it up anytime I want without reloading my operating
system.

If you would like to scan your computer for free and see if you
have any spyware or adware downloaded onto your machine
go here:

If you do then you should get something to get rid of it and I
recommend Spyware Nuker.

Real-Marketing.com

If you are looking for a hosting service I personally recommend that
you check out Real-Marketing.com. I have been with this service for
more than two years and they just keep surprising me with their
fantastic service.

The latest surprise came today when I read my email from them
stating that they had just doubled the size of all hosting accounts -
free of charge. Well, I immediately checked this out and found
that they hadn't actually doubled my web site's size - they had in
fact increased it by 150%. This news couldn't have come at a
better time for me since I was looking to increase the size of my
account and just hadn't gotten around to it yet.

Now this is not the first time they have doubled the size of my
account free of charge nor is it the first time they have gone out
of their way to take care of me. And before you think that I am
one of their biggest and best customers or affiliates then let me
set the record straight because I am not.

I started using Real-Marketing's "Starter" package a little over
two years ago and still do. Since I do highly recommend them
I do receive an affiliate check from them but it is less than $100
so I doubt that I am one of their top affiliates.

With that said, let me tell you some of the reasons this company
impresses me so much:
  1. They have super technical support -
    When I first starting I had a lot of trouble getting my first
    site up and running correctly. Not only did they give me
    advice on how to correct my problems but they also went
    into the code and actually fixed the problem for me. I don't
    know if they still fix code for their users but I know they
    still give good technical support in a timely manner since I
    have had other reasons to contact them over the last two
    years and they have always responded within 24 hours or
    less.
  2. They are honest and working for their affiliates -
    When I moved I forgot to change my mailing address with
    them. But it didn't take long to correct this since they emailed
    me to get my correct mailing address when one of my affiliate
    checks was returned to them.
  3. They keep their users aware of downtime -
    Whenever the service is down for maintenance or upgrades they
    notify all the users before the scheduled outage and again when they
    are back online.
  4. They offer professional services with their small accounts -
    Even with my little "Starter" package account, they offer all the
    professional services of a much larger account.
  5. As hosting space becomes less expensive, they pass this on
    to their users -
    This is the second time in my two+ years of being one of their
    customers that they have doubled the size of my account.


These are the major reasons that I deal with Real-Marketing.com
and personally recommend them. So if you are looking for a "good"
hosting service that is inexpensive but offers all the benefits of a
professional site then you really should check out Real-Marketing.com.
