    There are times when I'm glad that I'm not at all smart enough to understand everything that's being said here.

     

    All I know is my secretaries computer became compromised when she inadvertently allowed Genieo to install itself, after which she found it very difficult to get any work done, since much of her work was web based and she was perpetually interrupted by adverts popping up.

     

    I ran Thomas's adwaremedic software and the problem was gone. I certainly wasn't going to trust anything from Genieo that's for sure.

     

    There are times when you really don't need to be all smart to see what's going on. Adwaremedic works, why risk using anything else.
