I wouldn't trust it, for one this site says that it has a LOT of false positives (doesn't bode well if they're trying to sell you a product). There's a thread about it here that isn't very flattering either.
If you have a ton of spyware I would suggest that you scan your PC with a combination of good, freeware utils out there like Spybot S&D, Microsoft AntiSpyware or AdAware and see if you can get rid of them. If you cant post back here with a HijackThis log and we can see if it can be removed. |

i use it all the time.
when i used it with win2k it showed "internat" or something like that as a rat and when i removed it it caused the computer to freeze. it has never caused problems with xp.

Here's a good web site to visit if you have questions about a certain spyware program. Interestingly enough, there are far more "rouge" spyware programs than there are legitimate ones.
