How to use AboutBuster. Download AboutBuster 2.0 from the Downloads link. Then unzip all files from the zip folder to a folder or your desktop. Start it and hit ok. Then hit update. A new screen should popup. On that screen hit Check for Updates. If it says it found an update hit Download Updates. If it doesnt it will automatically tell you and exit. Now for the scanning part. Hit start and then Ok. The program should start scanning. Then hit exit and reboot. Once rebooted run AboutBuster 2.0 once more to make sure everything is ok. The database will be updated very frequently so check your versions once a day.
