I don't think it's a rogue, but it's unknown.

If it does use CounterSpy and Spyware Doctor's engines as claimed, it could have good detection.

But it's marketing strategy seems questionable.

If "Benny" here is not a paid spammer, them I'm a Dutchman! (Apologies to Polonus.)

That's not the same program.

That is a rogue.
