The free version works just fine. Also if when you reboot you get an “Cannot Display This Video Mode” message. Unplug your monitor then reboot. When you’re sure that the log on prompt is up, replug your monitor.

Here is a copy of my Malwarebytes log, The ones labeled “Trojan.FakeAlert” is this perticular spyware. Also it restore the noscreensavor and nobackground that was placed in the RegKey
