Platinum Essentials

Family Tree Maker, which one to get?
I'm looking to get FTM software, a 2011 edition, going to start from scratch, meaning no older versions to input info from. I'm trying to figure out if there is any real difference between the Essentials, Deluxe, and Platinum version beside the length of free ancestry.com you get. ?.
Also, does anyone know if the free ancestry.com begins once you install the software or can you choose when to start your free time?
I found this guide online at: http://reviews.ebay.com/Difference-between-Family-Tree-Maker-software-editions_W0QQugidZ10000000006476021
The Family Tree Maker software line is a popular product that comes in four versions. It can be a little difficult to figure out what's best for your needs, so we've created a guide to help you decide
The Family Tree Maker software is the same between ALL of the versions. The only differences between the Essentials, Standard, Deluxe and Collector's Edition are the length of the included Ancestry subscription and the included exclusive bonus items.
Ancestry Subscription:
•Essentials: 3 months included
•Standard: 6 months included
•Deluxe: 9 months included
•Collector's: 12 months (1 year) included
Keep in mind that the Ancestry subscription begins from the time of registration, and is usually for new subscriptions only. You may be able to extend an existing subscription, but that usually requires that you contact the Ancestry support team and ask.
I was already a subscriber to Ancestry.com when I bought my Family Tree Maker software and I called their customer service people and they allowed me to use the free time that came with my software at the end of my subscription but you should call and ask since they are now a publicly owned company the rules may have changed.

Platinum Essentials 3: On The Grind with Kieth Clizark
Adware/Spyware Removal?
My friend's laptop has the Anti virus Soft Platinum installed. This software is preventing any other anti virus program on her computer to work. I have tried to install the AVG free software, but it keeps telling me to uninstall the Anti virus Soft Platinum software, but it doesn't show up in the add/remove programs. I have used windows defender, Microsoft windows malicious software removal tool, and Microsoft security essentials software and none of these programs detected the Anti virus Soft Platinum software. I did download spyware doctor and it scanned the computer and found 100 hits of spyware, but the program will not remove the adware/spyware unless I pay for it. I never brought that kind of software before, usually if I get adware/spyware on my computer I just zap it and reload it. I'm thinking that's the best thing to do for my friend but she really doesn't want me too. So any suggestions would be great.
Here is a good tool that u can use
