Default Won't Delete File


The program works great, except when it found the Adware
program "ClearSearch," I selected the delete option. The
Microsoft program just keeps cycling over and over
searching and verifying the files. It won't actually
delete them. I let the program do this for almost an
hour, and it just keeps on cycling. The program won't go
away!

Great--another failure!
(by which I mean that these cases should provide some real "meat" to the
folks working on making the product better)

Here's Pest Patrol's removal instructions::

Do post back if you find you need to vary PestPatrol's info for what you
actually find on your machine--there may be variants.

Jacoby,

Try running MAS in Safe Mode to see if that resolves the
cycling issue.
