DriveCleaner.com?

I just got a pop-up with the Safari logo on it for DriveCleaner.com. The description sounds good (clearing my harddrive history of sex-related visits).

Is this legit? Any experience?

Thanks, TY. I Googled them and found the following on Symantec.com:

Behavior

DriveCleaner is a misleading application, which gives exaggerated reports of security and privacy risks on a computer. The program then prompts the user to purchase a registered version of the software in order to remove the reported risks.

The only thing I want popping up when I'm online is, well; I'm sorry what was the question? :blink:

I got suckered into a "registry cleaner" which did nothing more than what I already do regularly under the guise of speeding up my pc and correcting all those unfindable problems.

I got my cc credited.

These people work off of fear (which they inject) and the user's lack of pc knowledge.

It's much better than it ever was however, why I remember a day when you had to reboot just to stop the sex ads from taking over my processor, or so I've heard :P
