Re: HellzLittleSpy Fix that really, really does work…..

Hi,
I did see your posts at various different forums...and people's re-posts of your posts.
To be honest, I assumed this was some type of "troll service"....and that you were trying to drum up business for a small software seller.
After seeing the time you have spend on these PM's.....I don't think this is the case...and I appreciate your concern and trying to help.
First, I have to tell you that I did download the free program ver.8.....of course the boot disk is a paid for item....but this is OK. I downloaded to the only working computer in my home/small office setup. I see how the software creates restore points and it has a very nice interface....better than Norton in my opinion.
However, here is the problem...all of the computers have Norton Systemworks and Anti-Virus installed with GO BACK. Here is the problem. In order to try the other fixes mentioned in all of these posts....Norton wanted the removel of Go Back and all of it's components......this is before boot up....in a sort of pre boot....after bios area. It took about an hour to fully remove Go Back. This was the only way I could try the Win 2000 recovery console (didn't work)...the Bart Cd and/or the ISO/image...boot disk fiasco (requires two passes into safe mode!).
So, I believe that the earlier system states have all been removed....at least in the way that Norton reacts with them. The computer also never had Fix Vers. 8 installed of course, so whatever recovery points are created when the software is installed are not there.
I really do not think that this will work.
What are your thoughts?....by the way....I would gladly pay for the software...this is not the issue...I just think the system state recovery points are no longer there.

Numerous, recent posts have indicated that the 06/25/08 update with SpyBot V1.3 seems to indicate CoolWWWSearch.hjg and HellzLittleSpy as false positives.
After going through the absolute “nightmare” of restoring my home network after letting SpyBot remove the “Userinit” value from the registry, here is how I managed to get my 3 home network PC set up back when the Userinit reg setting gets wiped out from the reg value settings,
As you know you can’t even really effectively boot into SafeMode, so you can’t even run a DOS prompt to run any batch program to re-write the registry, you get into that endless logon – logoff loop, etc., etc.,
………………..WELL DON’T RUN TO REFORMAT!
Go to the big audio/video chain stores and get a product called “Fix It Utilities Professional version 8. It is made by Avanquest, it sells for about $40, and it’s a 3 user license. Pop the CD into your drive, change any bios/boot up settings to allow the PC to boot from the CD rather than the hard drive and let the CD boot. Once it boots, and the interface comes up, run the program called Recovery Commander. Choose the option to restore from a System Restore Checkpoint. Let it run and assuming you do have a series of system checkpoints to choose from, you should be OK, once you reboot. This is a lifesaver!
By the way, I do not work for this company, I am not trying to submit an ad, I don’t get any kickbacks, I too was beyond enraged after letting Spybot screw my PC. Then I remembered that I had this software. I use this for other stuff, this utility is loaded with other things that you will want to use, I repeat it is a Lifesaver and perhaps the best $40 you will ever spend, since without that reg value your PC is nothing more than a very large and heavy paperweight!!!!!
By the way see my previous post about yet another false positive!
Hope this helps the countless users that seem to be hit by this “false positive”
