Superantispyware is also free, and is very good at detecting the very hard to remove Spyware, Adware, Malware, Trojans, Dialers, Worms, KeyLoggers, HiJackers, Parasites, Rootkits and many other types of threats. I recently had the Vundo virus on my system and this was the only program that...

I payed 125.00$, which was about 20% more than the original "American Substandard" faucet cost..(100.00$) So I wound up paying 20% more for a product that is at least 200% better in quality. From what I've read, any valve body that has treads cut into it, instead of a machined orifice to...

Maybe you will believe this ..took back my defective ,(American Standard (model 1675 Cadet valve body.)) back to Home Cheapo and asked for a refund..What was wrong with it, she asked..I said it blew up. Expecting an argument ..I was sorely disappointed. She took the box (I just threw stuff in...

I recently redid my tub surround and installed a new American Standard (model 1675 Cadet) valve body. After it was installed ,I turned on the water and it was tight as a drum ..not one hint of a leak. I left the wall open for about a month under pressure ,just to be sure there were no...
