I Killed Themeadp with SpyZooka

Man, it’s true that you get what you pay for on the Internet. Sometimes, you wind up with more than what you paid for, and that’s not a good thing. I’m talking about the adware called Themeadp.

I caught Themeadp by downloading a freeware program. Apparently, it came with it…I can imagine it being like a stowaway on a freight liner or something. Man, I knew something was there once it got on my computer, though!

The first thing that happened is that my browser (Firefox) blinked out. Or maybe my computer started acting funny…I’m not too sure. After that, Themeadp started throwing out the pop ups.

Themeadp pop ups are different than others I’ve seen. They’re in Chinese or Japanese. Whatever it was they were talking about, it didn’t seem to be anything I was interested in.

I thought maybe I could stop this stuff that Themeadp was doing by restarting my computer. You wouldn’t believe how terrifying that was! I was getting error messages, and it rebooted by itself once. Finally, it got started up again.

I figured that what I had was some kind of adware or spyware. I had a trial version of a popular antispyware, so I ran it. It found it well enough, I saw “Themeadp” on the results page. The problem was my trial version had expired.

The program was for like $100, so I thought I’d see if there was something cheaper to kill Themeadp. At first I used the infected computer, and I got frustrated by the browser constantly crashing. I decided to check it out on my laptop.

I didn’t want to pay $100 to kill Themeadp, but I didn’t want to sacrifice quality for it either. Eventually, I just quit looking at reviews and decided to punch in 100% spyware removal guarantee. SpyZooka was the only program that had it, and it was only $30.

SpyZooka was amazing! It found Themeadp within a couple of minutes, and killed it even quicker. It’s faster than the more expensive program and it works!
