Sunbelt Software Counter Spy - A Warning!!!
« on: April 26, 2005, 03:29:18 PM »
If you try out this software, make sure you create a system restore point before installing, because you're sure gonna need it if you uninstall.

This program leaves your system in a BF mess when it leaves.

Reviews are good (80% detection of spyware) but it's very similar to Microsoft AntiSpyware (Sunbelt worked with Giant to create the engine) and if you decide you don't want to keep it you'll have problems to sort out. :-X >:( :'(

I had to boot into safe mode before I could do a system restore. >:(

You have been warned.
