Holy smokes, I hope you're supporting a huge fleet of PCs and not talking about scanning a single PC 3x per day... :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11506283 Tue, 05 Oct 2004 10:42:51 EDT Re: not so fast http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11503221 Tsume :
some of those peices of spyware that he has listed as not being cleaned by SPybot and Ad-Aware, I know for a fact are been detected and cleaned.

IMHO, SPybot and Ad-Aware are the best 2 anti-spyware programs out there and there free. You wont find any novice PC user going to spend money on anti-spyware software.

does this guy work for Giant Spyware?


TopMoxie I know for a fact SpyBot S&D cleans, maybe he has a very different variant?

However, there is no reason to accuse him of working for Giant Spyware... I just installed the program and got it to do a full scan. It found two false positives, and no spyware. The reason for this is because I already do daily full system scans with Spybot S&D 1.3.1b, AdAwareSE, and PestPatrol. I can say that out of any spyware protection program I have used, I like Giant's interface the best. As for false positives, pestpatrol generates a ton more (20+) before I tell it to exclude the files, when I do a thorough scan.

In short, this test is an awesome reference chart with some scientific (?) errors.

"this guy"....Eric L. Howes....is a respected member of BBR's Security Forum....among many other Security\Privacy Forums....who has gone above and beyond the call of duty....by sharing his knowledge\expertise. He in no way has connections to Giant Spyware.
