Just wonder if anybody knows much about this program. Recently while surfing the web, I came across this one and thought - hmm - wonder if Ad-Aware and Sbybot (both of which I use) are finding everything.
So I down loaded this Spybouncer program - it was free of course - and at the end of its cycle it told me I had some 16 files, some from Kaaza - a place I had never visited - so it made me wonder if this progam is legit. To remove these offending files - if they are there - requires me to buy the program!!
So just wonder what if anybody knows if this is a good - bad - or whatever program.
Thanks for any input.

You can download a trial version of spy sweeper, It should clean the system.

I believe it's 30 days.

It actually installs junk to find to make itself look good so you'll buy it. It is junk. Do not use it.

Caution guys. Spy Sweeper trial can not be updated with the latest definitions. I found this out the hard way today.

I don't think it has the full functionality either.

That's my biggest gripe about the program. Maybe a one time fee, but not every year.

It's fully functional with the exception of ending in 30 days and you can not update the definitions.
As far as the $30 goes... I'm more than glad to pay it, this proggie is worth every penny!
I had to go to Idaho to drop my daughter off and while I was there I decided to work on the network and install sp2. This thing caught between 1000 and 5000 traces per machine and 10 to 200 pieces of actual software installed.
