I tested a number of apps, some completely legitimate, some not. A better page to point interested readers to is this one: Anti-Spyware Programs: Feature Comparison »spywarewarrior.com/asw-features.htm All of the apps listed on that page are legit. My short list of recommended apps is here: »spywarewarrior.com/asw-features.htm#rec Best, Eric L. Howes

It had over 230 spyware objects and several viruses and trojans. They are not particularly computer literate and had asked a friend to help. The friend searched google to find anti-spyware products but couldn't tell if google's results were any good. The top google result for "spyware" is a program called "spychecker." I have no idea whether spychecker is a legitimate program or not. But with so many rogue programs that claim to fight spyware while actually installing spyware, it is difficult for the average user to know who to trust. I don't see it on Eric's Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware list. That list is invaluable for users wishing to check for anti-spyware that acutally isn't. »www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_ant···products Equally valuable is Eric's list of recommended anti-spyware: »spywarewarrior.com/asw-features.htm#rec Eric's test results of anti-spyware: »spywarewarrior.com/asw-test-guide.htm Edited per to Eric's post below. -- "Think for yourself and let others enjoy the privilege of doing so too." - Voltaire
