Version: SpyCleaner Platinum 9.6
Pros: Makes the work of Counterspy And Spycatcher using 1/4 resources.
Cons: Installed a little ad, but it was easy to remove. XoftSpy wanted to remove the whole program?

Version: SpyCleaner Platinum 9.6
"Shows promise but perhaps not quite there yet"
Pros: Simple, attractive, intuitive GUI. Nice backup/restore feature and full logging capability. The first scan detected ZERO false positives. It immediately recognized the presence of Firefox and scanned FF cookies. A collection of useful utilities is provided including a hosts file editor and a winsock repair utility (with appropriate warnings about its use)
The product was well behaved communication wise and made no attempt at internet access other than the user initiated update.
Cons: My only real criticism is that with only 509 items in the detection database there will be a lot of threats not covered. Hopefully the vendor will expand the range of targetted threats.
A minor annoyance was that it added its real time protection feature to the startup list without asking.
Note: My main interest in testing this came as a result of reading that it came bundled with WhenU Save. That may be true if it is downloaded from the publisher's site but the version here at download.com did not install nor offer to install any bundled software.
