Is this Software Good or Evil?
I just ran Belarc Advisor for the first time and it showed me some software that, a) I dont know what it does, and b) never knew it was there... So, is the following software good, or is it evil?
Alis Software - Pa3to4 Version 1.1 BVRP Software - FaxTools Version 1.00 DDE Spy EASTern DiGiTAL Inc. - InfoPro® Version 1,6, 0, 0 Full Circle Software, Inc. - Talkback Version 1.0 Heap Walk Utility hpidpspr.exe hpidview.exe IP-Sentry Stub Version 0, 0, 1, 3 javaw.exe OZ.COM - OV3 Version 01.01.0049 Software 2000 UnSetup Version 2.1.6.2 SpinnerPlus Version 2.0.3.spin-nosearch.32 |

javaw.exe is fine - that's what lets you run Java programs in Windows and stuff. Don't recognise the others, but a lot of them look like Spyware - e.g DDE Spy. I think SpinnerPlus sounds familiar, but not sure why. Maybe I'm confusing it with GRC's SpinRite.

I have never heard of any of them. Have you run SpyBot and Adware?

I recently did an Adaware scan and it didn't pick up anything except the usual crap from Gator. I figured out what DDE Spy is, so that can be scratched off the list.

You should run SpyBot Search and Destroy. It finds a lot of things Adware misses.

I will run Spybot. I would still like to know though, what some of this stuff is.
