Angry spyware warning!!
Hello to all,
In one of the other sections here I posted a question and someone provided a web site link with all sorts of info on spyware.
I checked it out and discovered that a spyware program I downloaded from TUCOWS, thinking it has to be OK, is on this list of spyware programs that actually invade your computer with...spyware!!
It's called SPYWARENUKER...do not use this program!
I cleaned up my computer and hope I got anything nasty all gone!
Hope this may help someone.

Spyware Nuker is eviiiil.
Its database of spyware is actually a stolen version of Spybot's! But the spybot database has a bunch of false positives built in that will be detected by spyware by Nuker but not by SSD.
Both Spyware Nuker and TrekBlue's spyware fighting apps are stolen spybot's.

"The first job of a true patriot is to question the Government"

Thomas Jefferson

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for any assumption of power. The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters ... but they mean to be masters. "

Daniel Webster
