Title: What is Strongvault?
Post by: bobhlgh on April 24, 2013, 08:01:08 AM
Hello -
I am running Windows 7 and IE 9.
While running Super Antispyware a page came up that had "Strongvault" on it.  As I read the add it appears to be a free back up.  Presently I back up my computer using a disk.  I know there are sites you can back up your computer  but they cost money.    My use of my computer is very simple so I don't need a complicated program.  Will "strongvault" do what they claim or is it a site to avoid?   Any recommendation will be appreciated.    Bob

It appears to be a Norton component...however if you got an ad for it it most likely is Malware...
From all i read as well it is a real pain to get rid of once installed.
My personal recommendation would be to stay away...
Others here may have more feedback.

Thanks for your reply.  I did not have any trouble deleting "Strongvault" but they said some would have a problem and they gave advice on how to do it.    Bob
