instructions:

Since you've got "spyware protection", you might want to look at these
general malware removal procedures to have an idea of how to use the

Malke is NOT selling any software !

She is a volunteer using her own time and resources to help the
infected/affected computer
user.

Where is Malke selling software? I didn't see any mention in the post for
software sales. I briefly looked at the website
www.elephantboycomputers.com and didn't see any for sale. Where, oh where
is the software?
