The psi doesn't change anything - only the person in front of the PC does that. I recommend you getting your facts straight before jabbing on about something like this... -- Big Dave

I was not aware that April Fools Day had arrived! An old British saying comes to mind "Do not play with the big boys toys if you have no idea how they work" What U experienced can of course happen - improper use by the PC user of the DELETE or REMOVE button normally has the wonderful satisfying effect you describe. -- Maurice Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit OS HP Intel Pentium i7 IE 10 for Windows 7 16GB RAM

Second, Secunia OSI and PSI do not change anything. PSI has links to solutions which involve actually downloading things and running installers. All of which require user actions. Do you click on everything on the Internet? Maybe that is why this happened. I am sorry you had a bad experience, but it was you, not Secunia who took these actions. -- -- Bob --
