said by RBFA:

Hotbar claims that none of the major anti-spyware apps such as AdAware, Spyware S&D, MS Anti-Spyware Beta, etc., detect Hotbar in their malware sweeps.

That claim of theirs is just plain false, at least when it
comes to Spybot Search & Destroy:

Hotbar claims that none of the major anti-spyware apps such as AdAware, Spyware S&D, MS Anti-Spyware Beta, etc., detect Hotbar in their malware sweeps.

This particular piece of "low risk adware" is pretty invasive as you will see from Ben's sceenies.

Can someone check to see if Hotbar ("official Microsoft Business Partner") is in any of the def files? I'd check but don't have access to my own PCs at the moment.
