Re: Xoftspy.. Is it more rogue antispyware MerlynTech:
That you and I got substantially similar results is rather damning. (Note: XoftSpy didn't flag any cookies on my box, but then I've moved all my IE folders to custom locations on drives other than C, which was the only drive the app scanned.) It looks like this application is simply flagging the same stuff on everyone's box and then demanding payment.
That performance is exactly what I'd expect from an application that is associated with SpyHunter domains and that gives the same vague information as other dicey anti-spyware apps on its home pages.
The uninstall, as you report, was fairly clean. Ad-aware and SpyBot have not found any questionable additions or modifications to my system.
Nonetheless, users would be advised to stick to anti-spyware applications with known track records and deserved reputations (see my post in the SpywareInfo thread for a short, incomplete list of suggestions).
Best,
