Out of curiosity... I was wondring how many users here would trust a program if it told you or if it flagged something wrong with your computer and the program suggested you to remove what it found... Would you just remove a file from your computer because a program told you it was bad or would you try to investigate the bad ( flagged) file first. Example : If spybot said you had a nasty file that needs to be removed would you just remove it because spybot said to? I think this can be a big problem if your not knowledgeable in this stuff... any Ideas??

Most of them have a backup function so yes I would remove it. But that's just me, others probably wouldn't. :)

I just check what it recommends to remove. But usually I dont trust spy-bot very much. and MS antispyware.
