Why? It's well-known to be crap, promoted and sold via spam. (Not as
Ghod-awful as Evidence Eliminator, of course -- not much could be -- but
still...)

Return it for a refund.

Please do not top-post.

Please DO edit your posts to exclude unnecessary/irrelevant material.

First and foremost, set the system up correctly in the first place. If you
do that, the "need" for after-the-fact "band-aids" like WW is largely
obviated.

Beyond that, the old standby products like AdAware and SS&D will do all
those things that WW does which are really useful/necessary.

Thanks. Still learning. I bought it because my computer was running slower
and I thought all that stuff I picked up form Web was slowing it down. Looking
at some other programs.
