Achtung!
I downloaded some free software, which is good.
It was free because it was in German, which is bad.
The software scanned my hard drive for me, which is good.
It found spyware, which is bad.
It has options to delete the spyware, which is good.
Only I can't tell the spyware from my normal cookies, which is bad.
I can categorise the items on the list, which is good.
Except I don't know what the German titles mean, which is bad.
I picked a few anyway because living dangerously is good.
I clicked "OK" on a bunch of warning windows I couldn't understand, which is bad.
I think I got rid of all the spyware on my machine, which is good.
I think I may have messed up the registry which is quite possibly the single worst thing you can ever do to your machine and still expect it to work.
