My computer worked insanely slow and I got all sorts of silly advertisement whenever I got onto the Internet. At a friend’s advice, I gave Exterminate-It a try and was glad that I did!
I scanned and kicked out all that adware that’d caused my PC to be so slow!
My PC is back to normal speed and I haven’t had trouble with unwanted ads ever since.
Keep up the good work!
