Yes, and don't attempt to do it yourself. There are places to post
your results and people who know more than you or I do help you
through the process. I had to use it to rid DD's college computer of
crap (she and her friends used it to download music) that the other
free cleaners couldn't budge. After a month of daily fiddling there
was still one I couldn't flush out, so I signed up for a 30 day trial
of the commercial version of some AV and that finally knocked it out.
Fortunately, I've never had a "situation" on my own computer. Knock
on wood.
