There are many problems in the computer world; the most important one is how to keep your computer far away from the curious people. The users always want to improve the performance of their computer; therefore, they try different sites to fix these problems. Most of these sites are developed for commercial purposes in crooked ways and deceptively. In these websites, the first thing they say that it is free to make a scan; during this scan they move a lot of malicious software to make the user buy their products. Truly, I used these websites many times. After I finish the scan, the problem is not still in same case but also I found many new trouble stone problems. I completely agree with author in this article; I was looking for a long time to get very useful websites to fix this type of problem, but I could not find any. I think not only are the websites dangerous but also some types of anti-viruses software are. My clue here is why there is only one anti-virus able to remove some type of virus? I think some anti-virus company produces the viruses that are removed only by their anti-virus for increase demand on their products. This article will help me to advise my friend to stay away from sites such as these.
