Rogue Program

Pros

Cons
Rogue Antimalware. This is a dangerous program. Connection with the author's website triggers security events including remote connection by rogue hosts and drive-by installation of malware. Program acts as a "client" for trojan malware installation.
Summary
During my test of this software, the Client program Lark Antispyware established a connection with the home website and began to transmit personal data. Test also confirmed this to be a rogue application attempting to install additional rogue software and hijack hosts file. Why Cnet has this program is a real question. The program itself puts on a nice little show and acts like it's working. To the unsuspecting, inexperienced user, it may appear to be a legitimate program. Before/after testing showed the infected "test" system was even more infected after software installation/first run. A simple set of ten spies and trojans grew to more than 200! I recommend avoiding this rogue security software at all costs.

Pros
"Found" 1 bad trace in several months that other antispyware did not.
Cons
Download site warned against by red Web of Trust analysis saying loads malware itself; "fast" mode takes forever. Removed accordingly.
Summary
Watch out for this one!

Summary
In short, CNet [unfortunately] could obviously be back to offering rogue-ware again. Suggestion, before downloading ANY software from ANY site RESEARCH it!!! At *least* install WOT on your browser to aid in that process.
so nice and so helpfull

Pros
Was easy to un-install.
Cons
Identified important files as spyware, had to do a system restore to get files back. Had it not been for system restore, I'd be royally screwed!
Summary
A spyware cleaner is only effective if it can remove spyware only, not files you need to make your programs run, I would stay away from Lark Anti-Spyware at all costs.
Amazingly effective...

Pros
A fast scanner and it finds trojans that other products do not. It has three scan speed priority adjustments, allowing you to conserve CPU output. It's free, that's always a plus if it's a good product!
Cons
Know of none as of yet
Summary
Very good freeware initial product offering in the antispyware/antivirus category.
