Can someone give me a list of fake/rouge anti-spyware and a list of real anti-spyware.?

Question

Thanks for all your help.

Answer 1

This link I am giving you is kept upto date and is the very best for listing rogue anti-spyware and well known spyware.

The list is maintained by an executive of "counterspy".

I got this email a few days ago and bought it for 10 bucks.. works well so far:

Hi All,

This is a rare, special stand-alone message that goes to all our subscribers.

You probably read in the last issue that CounterSpy was given 5 stars by the independent reviewers at Download.com. We told you that we offered users of 3-star products like Spy Sweeper and Spyware Doctor a 50% competitive upgrade.

This turned out to be more popular than we envisioned, and hundreds of people called and emailed us to ask if their freeware could also be covered in this limited time offer.

That's why we decided to open up this competitive upgrade to anyone running a commercial OR freeware antispyware product. We changed our validation page to reflect this new policy, and sent out a press release to announce this change:

Freeware like Spybot and Ad-Aware are no longer up to the task. They admit this themselves and recommend you run at least two antispyware products. We offer this short term upgrade program so you can bolster your desktop security against more complex and malicious spyware threats.

Tell your friends and family, this $9.95 offer only lasts until the end of June:

Spywarewarrior is the "Bible" of phony and bad antispyware apps.

"What follows is the main list of "rogue/suspect" anti-spyware applications, none of which can be recommended for anti-spyware protection."
