From the website's HELP Section.

Q. How do I delete my account?

A. To remove your account from our system, click on the "My Account" tab, then on the "Settings" link. Then, click on "De-Activate Profile". Once your account has been deactivated, you will still be able to login, but your profile will no longer be viewable by other users and you will not appear in any search results. You also will not be able to receive any mail through JustSayHi. If you'd like to reactivate your account, simply click on "Re-Activate Profile".


This doesn't allow someone to actually DELETE their profile from your database, it merely de-activates the profile from being visiable.

Just as NO means "NO", DELETE should mean DELETE.

Am I missing something here?

Be careful expecting a "free" avi tool to find "everything" (unless using open source and even then....)

Remember the adage "You get what you pay for".

Besides AVG, there's AntiVir. Occasionally use one of the online (and free) scanners. When it comes to defending your perimeter, more is always a good thing with PC Security. "Active" defense is necessary (e.g. AntiVir Guard). These are decent avi programs if you cannot afford to purchase a program and subscription.

Also, there are websites out there that will attempt to install a virus, trojan, worm, rootkit, etc. when you simply connect to the site.

So, run no less than 2 anti-virus programs, a spybot and adbot "cleaner" program on at least an occasional basis (I run them daily while sleeping).

And don't forget to use a firewall (the older home router NAT firewalls are usually insufficient).

Keep your Operating System (and other SW) up-to-date applying Service Packs, patches, etc. (Yes, for the pro geeks, I know testing patches is SOP).

There are a myriad of freeware, shareware and online scanners you can avail yourself of for protection.

Finally, here's a short list of a few security related websites (for both the geek and non-ITer's)

http://www.cerias.purdue.edu/tools_and_resources/hotlist/ (Some of the leading security experts in academia are here)

http://www.gfi.com/whitepapers/why-one-virus-engine-is-not-enough.pdf (PDF file on why you should use more than one AVI program)

http://www.itsecurity.com/ (TECS: The Encyclopedia of Computer Security)

http://www.istl.org/02-fall/internet.html (Science and Technology Resources on the Internet) VERY COMPREHENSIVE LIST...scroll down for AntiVirus info

Could go "on and on and on" but won't here.....

Hope this helps.
