Swizzor Removal Instructions

Swizzor Descriptions:

Swizzor is the latest counterfeit anti-spyware software that endangers the world of computers. Swizzor usually installed itself onto your PC without your permission, through Zlob.Trojan, Virus or fake software. Swizzor will display fake system alerts or fake security alerts to trick user to buy the paid version of Swizzor, in order to remove the potential and reported problems. It’s believed that Swizzor is a new variant of SpyLocked and SpyCrush. Not only does it slow down your machine dramatically, it would also put your privacy and data in danger.

It is extremely important to remove Swizzor from your computer. You can try our recommended SpyHunter* Spyware Detection Utility, which is very intuitive and highly efficient. Swizzor can be removed automatically. However, if you are familiar with registry edit and dll files in Windows, we strongly recommend you to try the Swizzor manual removal instructions.

How to Show Your Name In the System Clock

The way this trick works is by modifying the regional settings for the time format. Instead of using just AM or PM, you can put up to 12 characters of text in that field.
Start by opening Regional and Language Options from the start menu search box or the control panel.On the Formats tab you'll see the "Customize this format" button, which you'll need to choose.Select the Time tab, and then here's where we can make whatever settings we want.

I chose to set mine to "AM - Geek" so I could still see AM or PM, but you can choose any 12 characters for either field. Keep in mind that the PM symbol is only going to display during the "PM" hours.

This does change more than just the displayed clock, so I'd advise not using this on a computer you do actual work on. Using the F5 key in notepad shows the "Geek" text as well:

It's one of those things that's interesting to know… just not very useful. It does work in XP as well.
