Anybody using this application ? Any comments welcome. I just installed it last week, free from my Internet provider , and seems to be working fine. I have found 1 (one) Trojan Trojan.ByteVerify , since installing it. Can this type of program increase my risk level ??:flame:

normally i would stay away from any app that had the words: optimizer, booster, speed up, accelerator, etc
since its a package from your isp, there must be something to it.
it will not increase your risk level. Trojan.ByteVerify is a rather old exploit. make sure your OS, browser, antivirus and apps are up to date.

Yes, the Trojan.ByteVerify is old (very interesting) as my system is not 2 years old. Windows XP Home SP2 (fully updated) Security: NIS2008 as well as NIS AntiBot (added 30 day`s ago) I was running SpyBot SD , and will again when a newer version comes out. Thanks for the info and link`s: shelf_life;)
