A much better site than this one Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware
? Not sure about purchasing a anti spyware product
? Just ask, and I'll independently test it, I'm not particular fast,
but I will test all requests, and I will give you my honest opinion,
Donation based freeware, anti spyware programs
are available in the anti spyware section of this site,
I'll put any commercial anti-spyware product
worthy of the title passed, in the if you've got the money
section of this site, any genuinely free/donation based software
in the main anti-spyware section
These are purely my own personal reasons for
failing these software titles,
If anybody from any of these companies, asks,
I will re-test their product

- Hi Im a user of spybot S&D, and am abit amazed to see they are accused of using adware/spyware, or have I just miss readthis? what spyware/adware?...where Spywarrior suggest this program as excellent. "Spybot claims its using their spyware database, .....both programs suggest the use of spyware /addware in the product it self This is why this program failed to be listed on this site" some clarity please

SpyWare BeGone - FREE
SCANNER Edition! New Free Scanner Version 3.30 / Failed
The good points
It has a uninstall option
The bad points
The name would suggest you're downloading a
free scanner, which is exactly what it is, nothing more, i.e. if
you'd like to remove any of the, supposed spyware it finds, the
free part disappears instantly, the supposed spyware it finds,
well is not exactly specific in detail or location, so its impossible
to validate whether this program actually does anything, apart from
annoying adding itself to your startup menu, making sure you have
the opportunity to buy the product every time Windows starts, and
the legally correct play on words, doesn't exactly instill trust,
or confidence in this company, or its product
This is why this program failed to be listed
on this site
