    Spykiller is a rip off of other, better freeware removal tools. I have read different posts around the place each saying that spykiller found the same thing on different computers????

    Definate no no.

    Its one of nasty knock offs.

    I tried it as a test on 4 different computers and each one reported the same. I then used a trusted remover, Spybot and Adaware and they did not find any of them.

    I googled spybot and spykiller popped up first. That's how I came about it.
