For the random named ones, they have a status of deleted.

331610 2005-03-08 05:07:00 Thought the name Xoftspy (www.spywarewarrior.com) rung a bell. Looks like they have mended their ways now though. Got to be careful out there, not everything is as it seems ;)

Give a2 a run.

There's a site cant remember which one that said it got 8/10 so its pretty good. Well Ive deleted Adaware and Spybot now. They didnt pick up a file Xosoft did - Adclicker-AF some kinda trojan.

Well neither did Trojan Remover, BUT cant delete this as I'm a registered user of it.

331613 2005-03-08 05:26:00 Version 4.0 of Xoftspy is supposed to be ok now.

Apparently it was prone to false positives which, make it look better than the competion, but is mainly used to persuade people they need it along with dubious advertsing practices like false claims, jacked up reviews and installing adware/spyware on your PC.

Some of these people could be the next MS if they really got their act together :D

331614 2005-03-08 05:34:00 lol yup. Talking about MS, I see there's a new trojan out

www.norton.com

That disables, and deletes the MS Antispyware program

It also steals your pw if u do online banking. Well if it can pick something up 3 other programs didnt, it must be good for something!

Didn't take long. Put MS in front of a programme and every little snot on the net focuses on it. Do they think MS is synonymous with hole and gaping exploit, that it is their right to waltz on in, even though they've never bothered with it before (such as Giant)? Sheesh! makes you wonder doesn't it, hmmm! maybe it's the integration with IE?? that'd make one wonder even more as to why that keeps happening.
