1/16/2015 5:58:25 PM Recently downloaded programs for work and a bunch of spyware and adware was attached to the programs I was required to download. Not very happy about that right now. Hoping PCMatic can clean them off of my computer.

9/12/2020 2:07:37 PM I downloaded PC Magnum and it made my computer unusable. When I did the whole recovery process to use my computer again, it was ok after I deleted it. I have a windows 7 desktop that I've been veru happy with. I know I can get Widows 10 for free, but I wasn't happy with the experience. Maybe you could tell me if I really need to update to that to avoid those kind of problems.
