"Malware found as installation itself!"
Version: Adware Spy 4
Pros
Nothing to say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cons
Rogue.Installer found by several apps that i have installed. Problem is, all of my protecting programs, and there are a lot of them! Over 15 installed, found Rogue.Installer. First detection was from Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.
Summary
Folks!!! Be smart and don't even download this peace of very crap!!! I'm sorry for my impolite word, but it's malicious infection. Right after download it was detected.

"Itself Malware"
Version: Adware Spy 4
Pros
zero--spybot flagged it and did not install further.
Cons
Spybot S&D and A-squared free both declare it is dangerous. DO NOT INSTALL!
Summary
Did not use. Surprised it is an "approved" Microsoft IE add-on.

"MALWARE!!!"
Version: Adware Spy 4
Cons
Since I downloaded this program, my PC has been dragging. I ran the Anti-spy program on the Yahoo toolbar, and it reported that I had a TROJAN. I then downloaded SpyBit, and it identifies this program as MALWARE. It describes the program as "supposed to be spyware", but "finds non-existent threads to make the user but the software." If it walks like duck, and it talks like duck......

"This is listed as rogue!"
Version: Adware Spy 4
Pros
Check "Spyware Warrior" and you will find this application listed as rogue, suspect. I was kind of hoping these rogue type anti spyware programs had been removed from download.com. I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole!
Cons

"I never used this program but my Norton Anti-Virus said it was a threat."
Version: Adware Spy 4
Cons
I was downloading this software just to try it out. After it had downloaded my Norton Anti-virus detected it and said it was a threat. Even though it probably isn't malicious software, it was a security vulnerability.
