Thta's true. When you go to download.com, and read the comments, you'll see people ripping apart the various new spyware removal programs, that use ad sponsering.

People are even critial of Adaware and Spybot, but their comments are noticibly less credible. I like to run Adaware first, then Spybot.

I really like Spybot 1.3, because it wil purge all sorts of crap from the hard disk, like the previously acessed files in Windows Media player, which is nice. The latest Version has never removed something critical -- for me anyway, YMMV.

There was this real evil group that was spamming newsGroups, email, and using Windows Messager to promote it's spyware removal tool, can't recall who that was.
