    Has anyone heard of Adware Spy?

    A friend downloaded a program called Adware Spy from this site. It supposedly found 217 items and all the big baddies were in the list. I was a little skeptical and ran Spybot, Adaware and Hijack This and found nothing out of the ordinary.

    The interface looks very similiar to Adaware. The website has very little info on it. I didn't try to remove anything with it, just did a scan.

    Just wondering if anyone has heard of this program and if you have used it if you have any comments.

    Thanks for the reply. I did a little more research and found the same thing.

    I found it listed on Spyware Warrior. Seems my instincts were correct.

    Spyware Warrior looks like a good reference site to check out these scammers.
