If it ain't broke, don't fix it........stick with the 'known' goodies, like
Spybot, Adaware, Spyware Blaster, etc.
Heirloom, old and only underwear should be changed daily

Not good enough for me, Silj.
Thank you.
In case you may be wondering why I wanted to know:
I had a "Wuaboot" error message and was guided through Google to this
particular item in order to clean up the wuaboot spyware, as they called it.
As it turned out, I didn't have wuaboot on my pc. If it was there
temporarily, my Spybot or Lavasoft Ad-Aware must have taken care of it.

Harry.

Okey, Dave, I've got the message.

Thanks.

Harry, two points.

One, with Spyware app integrity-related questions you could do worse than to
search here first: http://spywarewarrior.com/

Two, the link you clicked for xoftspy in Google, was a sponsored, ie paid
for, link. You need to watch out for those.
