From the neighbors of Alwil House, a new Anti Spyware. I have installed the trial setup and I'm tryng. ::)
-

After the automatic update at launch. Spy Emergency has updated the list of my host files with an enormous number of entries... It run not too quickly... sensible resources use is visible when I try to open other applications... Don't seems to conflict with other programs exept 1 curious event: the task bar icon of Win Patrol disappeared.

multilanguage. also in english.

The review I just found isn't very incouraging:
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Where do i start!First it gives you one free update 1 time and the trial is for 15 days.It took way to long to scan.Then i uninstalled it and it wouldnt completely and then left me with errors.So i had to use winpatrol to disable the program in the start menu then manually find all the files and delete each one
Also remember that this is NOT FREE.

i did a scan and it said it found a trojandownloader,i moved it to the cage(vault,chest)i guess the drawback would be its not free and only 15 day trial.bri

Bri, take care. Most of 'new' detections are false positive.
Programs promisse much that they could do. The user thinks: more detection, more security.
You'll be wise if you could reach the target!
Spybot and Ad-aware do it for free ;)

trojandownloader win32 winsh(this is all i could see on this line)

Is a sign of the game zone of msn/usa. Is a real danger, I think! I tried to sign in 'cause play chess game (it place also an activeX in IE)... and I had a dramatic increase of annoyng objects (please, note: I disabled completely the messenger first of my subscription, the service not MSN!). I agree with various opinion: poor interface graphic, slow scanning engine, etcetera. But this program had not found malwares on my PC.

I think I'll give this a miss ;) In the past I've tried many AV programs, and been impressed that they found things that Avast!, Spybot & Ad-Aware didn't. As Technical said:

No harm in testing it out, but I've learnt the hard way in the past.I am very happy with Avast! latest Home Ed. at the moment, and wouldn't change a thing ;D Each to their own.

Did you already tried SpyBot, Ad-aware and SpywareBlaster? If not, I'll begin with them and not other ones...
-

my main security ones are-avast,zone alarm,spywareblaster,spybot s&d,ad aware ,ewido,ccleaner,bazooka,all free programs(i know im cheap) ;D
