Is think point a scam for spam?

Think about it.

You see all these people here asking how they can get thinkpoint out of their computer, but , instead of telling the asker how to do that, the answerer talks about this anti-malware software, and how just go to _____.com and this software they are promoting will fix it.

This is a different activity than " how to do that".

Because the asker can't go to another website, think point stops you from doing that, If think point has killed your computer, all you can do is use someone else's computer and read about this marvelous software you can't get on your computer.

Is the real agenda;

Shut down a guy's computer with thinkpoint, then hype your anti-virus software on websites like this one.?

    Actually, there are good guides out there, and explanation about various problems one can get while removing thinkpoint is quite long. If people are able to read yahoo answers, they are able to read guides as well. It might be their version of thinkpoint is not so aggressive, or they got IPAD/Spartphone, other PC.

    Yeah, most of people earn some money from offering removal instructions or software. Not all though, nor they are related to makers of thinkpoint, who make huge amounts of money from people who are scammed.

    The thing with this place is.

    you sometimes get many different answers to the same question

    i would suggest you follow the top answers as they seem to know the best

    routes to solve most problems.

    even then you will get conflicting answers.

    it is for you to decide what is right.

    some ways work for some people but they do not work for others.

    i think it is sometimes, how it is explaind to you

    and also it is how much you understand what they are telling you.

    anybody on here promoting a certain product or site

    is soon banned from here.

    if you are asking a question,

    it will be answered to the best knowledge of the answerer

    it is for you to decide what is right or wrong.

    it is called being internet s a v v y.

    Thinkpoint is a classic scam to get your Credit Card info. The program itself doesnt exist. Its a particularly nasty one however, and even though it enables a proxy blocking you from browsing the internet, it is possible to boot into safemode, and download anti-malware software that way. But again, Think Point as a piece of AV software is not real. Try to purchase it and you are handing your CC info over to someone who will steal your identity.
