Mr. Sweepy's Forums

Hello,

I just found this site about 4 days ago - I don't think I have ever even entered an online sweepstake prior to last week!  Anyway,  I'm having a ball exploring the site and sweeping, but I am having to constantly run scans to get rid of all of the junk that keeps plugging up my computer.  I have both adware and spyware software, but they don't seem to be helping.  I'll clean everything out and my system will work just fine for about an hour of sweeping and then it freezes up and I have to shut down and run my adware software again to fix it.  Any sugestions would be appreciated.  Thank you!

 Wow, I have never had a problem like that from using this site.  Some other sites....now, that is a different story!  Anyway...do you clear your cache/cookies/temporary files regularly?  That could help.  There is a program called CCleaner that works really well to delete all the unnecessary garbage on your computer, and can speed up your system too. 

Thank you for the response.  Yes, I clear everything regularly and I also use CCleaner (love the program).  Maybe it's something else entirely.  It just seems odd that I've had this computer for years and these problems began when I started Sweeping.  I did hit one or two other sites before I found this one - I'll have to be more careful!!  Thank you again for your help!

I haven't had a problem with spyware or adware entering sweeps from this site.  I don't enter from anywhere else, though. 

95% of the sweeps that are listed here are from major corporate sponsors - big companies that aren't trying to illegally collect info or compromise their customer's computers.  They want to make & keep customers for their business, not steal & sell information -or- make money sending out 3rd party spam. 

I'm no expert on hardware or networking, so I'm afraid that I can't help you fix your problem :-(
