Spycop's claim

It claims to have "the biggest spyware database in the world" is this true?

"..
We believe we've created the world's largest database of known spyware," says David Stag PestPatrol's cofounder .."

Who knows?

It has probably the largest database for keyloggers . It doesn't detect anything else.

That exact phrase has ZERO Google hits. The phrase "biggest spyware database" returns two hits, for Spy Sniper and Spycatcher, both of which I think are rogue (evil).

But, okay, Spycop does say:

Largest Surveillance Software Database In The World
»spycop.com/

Because adware opponents have co-opted the term "spyware", apparently Spycop, which focuses on real spying software, uses the term "Surveillance Software" in that quote. And according to John and others, they're being truthful. (Most commercial antimalware refuses to identify commercial key loggers, for example.)
