Reviewer: Dj Mad Mike
Cons: Trnd Micro PC-Cillin Internet Security 2005 has found a virus called WORM_RBOT.AYO C:\svhostcs32.exe in pathway C:\System Volume*****If you do have SpyBot Search n Destroy and Ad-Aware, Ad-Aware will remove the SpyBot files and cause your computer to crash and not allow any websites to be viewed, and also not allow you to register Microsoft products. It gives you about 40 min online then the computer crashes. Ad-Aware is a good program PROVIDED you have no other spyware programs installed on you computer. Do Not Install any of these programs: No Ad-Aware, PC Bug Doctor, PC Rescue, SpyBot Search n Destroy. All these programs will give you headaches and sleepless restless nights, and I feel sorry for those people who have installed any of these programs and have been sucked in!

There is no worm, this guy is trying to scare us for some stupid reason. I guess he doesn't like Spybot?

I alreadt have Ad-Ware Se and I was thinking of adding Spybot, buit I'm not sure whether I should considering the above review. Is there a way of getting around this, i.e. running Spybot then Ad-ware? How can I be sure I won't be deleting my back-up file in Ad-Ware Se? Should I use MS Windows Antispyware instead? I've been very happy with Ad-Ware SE, but I feel like it's not catching everything. Please help! My email is dianacan2003@yahoo.com Hopefully I won't get spam!

What you're talking about here is a virus. Spybot was never designed to scan for it, therefore it doesn't detect it. There is a difference between Spyware and Viruses. Don't get confused.
