i agree with the guys but i have to add something.
I NEVER TRUST A SINGLE PROGRAM TO DO SOME WORK,I TRY TWO OR MORE FOR THE SAME PURPOSE AND THEN TRY TO COME TO A CONCLUSION!!!
that's it

The cleaner from Moosoft is legit, and will remove trojans, etc.
That one you can trust. If you dont, research it for yourself --> www.moosoft.com

What i do when downloading programs (most of the time) is i download it to a computer that i can afort to reset, or another hard drive in my computer (its the one where you switch them out). And then if i find it is doing what it is supposed to do and i like it, i put it on my main computer/hard drive.
The only four things i need are food, water, a computer, and the internet.

if you are really paranoid just run a virus scanner over all programs you download/recieve, however i find you can trust the major well known companies except maybe M$?!?

get a freebie firewall, tiny and zonealarm are pretty good, turn off alerts because a lot of new users confuse internet trafic with attacks, have an up to date virus scanner (I use AVG) and trojan scanner (cleaner). That's just some good sense.
Alternate realities celebrate reality. If you cant handle the reality your in, then you wont be able to handle the one your attempting to escape to.

We talk about who's programs we can trust. Well, why, do we have to to "trust" that they don't have any backdoors built in, or unwanted ad annoyances, or 'spam'? Is there not a way to find out for ourselves what the program is designed to do, short of learning the programming language entirely.?
I have a vauge idea of how this could be accomlished. Uncompiling the program, then searching for key functions or strings...would there be an encryption problem trying to uncompile? Not really sure.... But i know it could be accomplished... Just wondering if there is a shortcut...
